2021 Bernard Levet, Cote-Rotie, Journaries Region_Douro This wine got nearly perfectLevet has emerged as one of the greatest old school Cte Rtie producers. The wines have power and grizzly, savory complexity, but also restraint. You get the coolness and minerality of the appellation, the most northerly of the Northern Rhne. Les Journaries is from old vines from La Landonne. A little more powerful than the straight Cte Rtie, and good for mid term aging. Dark fruits, olives, earth.
