Michel & Stephane Ogier, Cote Rotie Reserve Vintage:2016 a fine mousse and aBrilliant violet. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh black and blue fruits, incense and violet, while smoky mineral, olive and exotic spice nuances build with air. Sweet, seamless and lively on the palate, offering intense blueberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors and a suggestion of cracked pepper. In a decidedly energetic style, with smooth tannins lending shape to an impressively long, floral and mineral driven finish. Josh Raynolds
