Domaine Maryline & Christophe Billon Cote Rotie Les Elotins, Rhone, France 2017 Needs Varietal So much floral and dark-fruit

So much floral and dark-fruit character with almonds and walnut shell

Domaine Maryline & Christophe Billon Cote Rotie Les Elotins, Rhone, France 2017 Needs Varietal So much floral and dark-fruitWhispers of fur, charcuterie and smoke lend savory complexity to luminous cassis and mulberry flavors here. A blend of 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier sourced from schist and mica slopes, it's boasts a gleaming acidic spine and fresh, mineral undertone that are revitalizing. Rich, chewy tannins should meld with time and while appealing already. 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast
