Olivier Merlin, Saint Veran Cote Rotie other_regions_australia There is a lovely senseRipe, fresh and layered aromas consist of citrus confit, petrol and a pretty mix of mostly white orchard fruit that is nuanced by anise and oak toast hints. The exceptionally rich medium bodied flavors possess solid mid palate density as well as slightly better complexity on the lingering finish. This is sufficiently interesting to merit your attention.
