Vibrant mineral-accented blackberry blueberry and violet aromas pick up a spicy topnote with air. Concentrated red and dark berry olive and floral pastille flavors display sharp focus and energetic drive thanks to a spine of smoky minerality. Finishes very long and sappy with persistent blue fruit and floral qualities subtle tannins and lingering spiciness.
vMarked by striking aromas of licorice and violets set against a backdrop of black cherries the 2019 Cote Rotie Les Schistes is the blended cuvée formerly known as "Classique." It's medium to full-bodied taut and crisp with a distinct tension between acidity and ripeness and a long cinnamon and pepper-inflected finish. It should age well for a decade or more.
