Tardieu-Laurent Cote Rotie Vieilles Vignes, Rhone, France 2020 Meat sauces & ragù ClassssssssI loved the 2020 Cte Rtie Vieilles Vignes, a spectacular Cte Rtie that offers up heavenly notes of black raspberries, cassis, spring flowers, and bacon fat. A quintessential expression of this appellation, it's medium to full bodied, has a layered, pure, seamless mouthfeel, ultra fine tannins, and a great finish. It's approachable today and will continue drinking brilliantly over the coming 15 20 years. 97 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
