Vignobles Bernard Levet Cote Rotie Les Journaries 2016 750

Bright violet. Spice- and mineral-accented black and blue fruit aromas show excellent delineation and pick up suggestions of olive and candied violet with air. Sappy and well-concentrated but energetic as well, offering juicy blackberry and boysenberry flavors that become spicier as the wine stretches out. Smoothly blends power and finesse and finishes impressively long and sweet, with chewy tannins building slowly. Variety: Syrah
