Perrin & Fils, Gigondas Tourelles Vintage:2013 The 2010 Cote Rotie la

The 2010 Cote Rotie la Turque is a much more masculine and edgy wine that's going to reward cellaring

showing mellow tannins and a distinct pungency because of its rather fierce acidity

violet and spice

white blossoms and almond pastry

and a lemon-pith note bringing refreshment to the finish

Perrin & Fils, Gigondas Tourelles Vintage:2013 The 2010 Cote Rotie laOpaque, bright rimmed ruby. Intensely perfumed, mineral accented cherry and dark berry scents are accompanied by suggestions of licorice, candied flowers and exotic spices. Fleshy and broad in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated cherry pastry and blackberry flavors that become more energetic as the wine stretches out. Shows superb energy and mineral lift on an impressively long, subtly tannic finish that leaves behind a suave floral note. Josh
