Garon, Cote Rotie Rochins Size:6x750ml with the 2011 Flaccianello dellaOpaque violet. A highly perfumed bouquet displays powerful aromas of red blue fruit liqueur, potpourri, smoky minerals and cola. Offers palate staining black raspberry, boysenberry, fruitcake and floral pastille flavors that are accentuated by a strong suggestion of exotic spices. Gains weight and sweetness with air and finishes with a resonating mineral note, steadily building tannins and strong tenacity. (25% whole clusters and a third new oak) Josh
