2023 Clos du Mont-Olivet Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes

  Producer: Clos du Mont-Olivet Region: Côtes-du-Rhône, Rhône, France Blend: 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 10% Carignan Year: 2023 James Suckling, 92 Points  "A rich and generous Cotes-du-Rhone with tons of damson plums and ripe blackberries, but also notes of hot, dry earth and spice. Lovely, rich and creamy mid-palate with tons of soft tannin, then a long, silky finish. A touch of overripe plum comes though at the end, but the wine remains balanced and subtle. Drink now."  Winemaker Notes:  "Hints of Chateauneuf pervade each sip from this chiseled beauty. Expansive aromas of fresh boysenberry, black raspberry, and spicecake. Seamless and concentrated on the palate, one of the most complex Cotes du Rhone wines made."  Alcohol: 15.5%    *Price and availability in store may vary. Vintage date may differ from pictured.
