Vidal-Fleury, Côtes du Rhône, Southern Rhône, France, 2013

88
Tasted by: Stephen Brook, Jason Haynes, Jasper Morris MW
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2019
Pure cherry and strawberry nose underpinned by a touch of brooding roasted black fruit and a hint of almond. The powerful palate echoes the black fruit, enhancing it with a savoury twist of pepper. Tightly structured with neat, fine-grained tannins. Very impressive for a straight Cotes du Rhone.
