38% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot

lavender and acacia blossom as well as discreet citrus nuances

plush and velvety middle weight flavors that that contrast somewhat with the robust and surprisingly powerful finish that offers solid length on the slightly warm finish

Tasted again the following day from the open bottle

Clusel Roch, Cote Rotie Vialliere other_regions_italy 38% Merlot and 3% PetitA bright, juicy, engaging style, with lots of red currant, damson plum and cherry fruit lined with plum pit, blood orange and roasted sandalwood notes. The mineral driven finish shows lovely persistence, while an intense briary edge blossoms with aeration. Best from 2015 through 2025. 230 cases made. JM
