2016 Yves Cuilleron Cote Rotie Bonnivieres

"Opaque ruby. A hugely perfumed bouquet evokes fresh black and blue fruits, candied flowers, exotic spices and a hint of smoky minerality. Alluringly sweet and focused on the palate, offering deeply concentrated dark berry liqueur, violet pastille and smoky bacon flavors, plus a hint of olive and building spiciness. Finishes smooth, sappy and extremely long, with well-knit tannins lending shape and gentle grip to persistent dark fruit and floral flavors."   Vinous Media 95
