M Chapoutier, Cote-Rotie Les Becasses 2016

"The medium-bodied 2016 Cote Rotie les Bécasses is a blend of several parcels along the entire length of the appellation, from Saint-Cyr in the north through Ampuis to Tupin and Semons in the south. It offers a mixture of pepper and herbs, tart red fruit and crushed stone, supported by fine-grained tannins and ample length. Not particularly round or generous, it's more about silk and elegance." - Wine Advocate

"Thrilling richness and ripe, sweet-fruit aromas and flavors here. This has a very young, primary attitude with deep complexity and fragrance built into the wine for later. The tannins are rippling with power, yet retain freshness and elegance." - James Suckling
