Pierre Gaillard (Côte-Rôtie)
Young, bright, crisp, fresh black raspberries, cherry, earth, pepper and a hint of espresso in the nose. Medium/full bodied, with a finish of fresh, sweet, earthy cherries is a pleasure. Another 4-5 years will of bottle age will add a lot to the wine. 4,650 Views Tasted Aug 31, 2015 |
