Grandes Rayes and La Justice)

Very ripe liqueur-like aromas of various black berries are nuanced by plenty of spice and floral elements

The other 2013 offered in my tasting was the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Fortis

The 2019 Riecine di Riecine shows wild fruit over a streamlined approach with lots of freshly milled pepper

muscular and classy finish

Georges Vernay, Cote Rotie Blonde Seigneur other_regions_italy Grandes Rayes and La Justice)Stunning nose with very ripe aromas of pomegranate, orange and blackberry with a ton of smoke. Excellent concentration, but it is the brilliance that this is married to that makes the wine stand out. Extremely long and precise finish with great mineral freshness. A cuvee of 80% syrah and 20% viognier, co fermented. Partly matured in large oak foudre and partly in barrique. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
