Maison Nicolas Perrin (Côte-Rôtie)
On the floral side of the style range, with fresh, vibrant, sweet, black raspberries, peppery cherries and just a hint of smoke and thyme. The fruit displays a good sense of purity and freshness in the soft textured, peppery finish. This is a nice wine and a fair value for Cote Rotie, which is an increasingly expensive region to buy wine from. The bottle was decanted about 2 hours before we started tasting it and it made a perfect match with the grilled pork chops. 2,692 Views Tasted Sep 26, 2015 |
