Vallouit, Cote Rotie Voniere Vintage:1999 Blackberry

Blackberry

This balanced effort is built-to-age and will need it

refined and attractively mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors possess fine depth and persistence on the dusty

but it does not feel as if it is going anywhere interesting

the 2018 Pinot Noir Knox Alexander is very spicy on the nose with aromas of wild red and black berries

Vallouit, Cote Rotie Voniere Vintage:1999 BlackberrySeamless. Shows lovely, sweet fruit and firm but ripe tannins, with enough good acidity kicking in on the fresh finish. Offers a panoply of spice, smoke, fancy oak and black fruit. Should improve with cellaring. Best from 2003 through 2015. 250 cases made. PM
