St. Cosme Cote-Rotie - 2012 (750ml) Cristine but Beaucastel’s 2006 Chateauneuf duEnergetic, with white pepper and alder notes framing a core of racy red currant, blackberry and black cherry fruit. Hints of bay and iron line the back end, where everything streamlines together for a lengthy finish. Approachable now, but could expand with cellaring. Best from 2015 through 2025. 200 cases imported. JM Wine Spectator 93 points
