Wine By Nine

Red Wine by Tardieu-Laurent from Cote Rotie, France - Rhone. Very darkly coloured, we are back to a most typical Style of Cote-Rotie both on the nose and in the mouth. Violet and liquorice are dominant. The aftertaste impresses by an intense mineralite - mine de crayon. Terroir: Landonne, Moulin, Chavaroche, Vaillere from vines over 50 years old. Ruby-red. Highly aromatic nose combines bright raspberry and redcurrant scents, a strong violet note and subtle mineral tones. Fresh, silky and sweet, with brisk red fruit flavors carrying impressively through a long, juicy, gently tannic finish. This is delicious right now. -International Wine Cellar
