Xavier Vins - Côtes-du-Rhône 100% 2012
91/100
Robert Parker
“Even better than the classic Côtes-du-Rhône, this 100% 2012 is almost an instinctive blend—a little Grenache, a little Syrah, a little Mourvèdre, and the rest Carignan and Cinsault... Aged for 12 months in concrete tanks and barrels, it bursts with black raspberries, raspberries, crushed flowers, and a rich minerality on the nose. This is followed by a full-bodied palate with beautiful concentration and a structured, balanced, and full-bodied finish. It’s yet another success for this team. ” (Wine Advocate 2014 – Robert Parker)
