Domaine des Espiers, Côtes du Rhône 2022

"Deep crimson with soft rim. Smells so inviting and so drinkable. Mostly dark-fruited, vibrant and fresh on first impression, even a stony/mineral quality to keep the fruit in check. This is delicious, full of fresh dark fruit, finely textured by the dry tannins, very pure and mouth-watering, especially so for. wine from the southern Rhône. A refined and elegant Côtes du Rhône but still fun to drink. Surprisingly long, elegant finish at this price." GV 16.5/20, 2023-2026, Tamlyn Currin, www.jancisrobinson.com, December 2023
