Xavier Gerard, Cote Rotie Vintage:2015 opulent and sappy medium weight

opulent and sappy medium weight flavors that are suave

particularly anise that complement to perfection the sleek

more than it usually is

clove and violet nuances on the pretty mix of blue and black pinot fruit and plum aromas

Drink it from 2014-2026+

Xavier Gerard, Cote Rotie Vintage:2015 opulent and sappy medium weightGrard's 2015 Cote Rotie (tasted from a 375 milliliter bottle) is in a good place right now. Dense, concentrated and creamy textured, it evokes the vintage's warm character, delivering black cherries and black olives in equal measure. Full bodied and velvety in feel, it might lack a bit of elegance, but it delivers plenty of flavor. Drink it over the next decade.
