Domaine de l'Espigouette 2018 Vieilles Vignes Red (C么tes du Rh么ne)
#35 Enthusiast 100 2021
Return to List Violets and char perfume this elevated C么tes du Rh么ne made from a blend of Grenache, Mourv猫dre and Syrah. Blackberry and black-cherry flavors are ripe but pure, accented by hints of graphite and a delicately smoky, peppery edge. Silky on the palate and framed by a rim of salt, it's delicious young but likely to hold well through 2028 at least. Anna Lee C. Iijima
