2020 Domaine Mathilde et Yves Gangloff Cote-Rotie La Sereine Noire (750ml)

By Josh RaynoldsNever a Dull Vintage in the Northern Rhône (Dec 2022), 12/1/2022, (See more on Vinous...)98 points (Domaine Mathilde et Yves Gangloff Côte-Rôtie La Sereine Noire Red) Glass-staining violet. Displays expansive, highly perfumed aromas of black raspberry and boysenberry, with exotic spice, violet oil, smoky mineral and incense notes building in the glass. Densely packed yet almost shockingly energetic on the palate, offering penetrating black and blue fruit liqueur, floral pastille, allspice and olive paste flavors with a hint of cracked pepper. The floral note carries emphatically through a wonderfully long, sharply detailed finish that's framed by youthfully gripping, polished tannins. (Drink between 2032-2043)
