Domaine de la Ville Rouge - Inspiration 2016
89/100
Robert Parker
"Raised mainly in stainless steel vats, the 2016 Crozes-Hermitage Inspiration offers notes of asphalt and spicy, licorice-flavored plums. It is medium-bodied and fully ripe, developing supple tannins on the mid-palate. Peppery spices emerge on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker)
