Sourced from a mix of sites in Kallstadt and one vineyard in Bad Dürkheim where the soils are light and sandy
Very clear aromas of blackberries
then opens toward white-peach and grapefruit juice flavors
it politely refuses to fan out on the finish
yet dry and minerally – a complete and satisfying medium-bodied white wine designed to pair well with food and remain crushable by the glass
Tardieu-Laurent Cote Rotie Vieilles Vignes, Rhone, France 2020 Donum Estate Sourced from a mix ofI 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
