Robert Parker 90 Points "Hints of tar and black olives give way to raspberry and cherry fruit on the nose of the 2016 Cote Rotie Colline de Couzou. It's a silky-textured, medium-bodied effort, with a nice balance between sweet and savory elements and a gentle finish. Relatively open and approachable, it can be drunk over the next 6-7 years."

The medium ruby-colored 2016 Côte Rôtie Colline De Couzou offers some darker, earthier notes as well as textbook flowery dark fruits, pepper, and chocolate. Medium-bodied and nicely concentrated, it's built on elegance and its seamless texture. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years as well.
