Vinous: 91-93 Points

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.

Wine Advocate: 91+ Points

Marked 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.
