M Chapoutier, Cote-Rotie Les Becasses 2019

"The main impression is one of deep savouriness. Only medium-bodied on the palate yet powerful, with a mineral grind. Fresh, with great focus and intensity. Good acidity, power without extraction, and no excess oak make for a compelling Côte-Rôtie." -Decanter

" Ripe dark berries, cherry, licorice and a hint of olive on the spice- and floral-inflected nose. Juicy bitter cherry, blueberry and candied licorice flavors become livelier and sweeter as the wine opens up. Dusty tannins add grip to a long, focused finish that leaves sappy dark fruit, espresso and cracked pepper notes behind." - Vinous
