Gangloff, Cote Rotie Barbarine

Gangloff, Cote Rotie BarbarineSaturated magenta. Expansive aromas of ripe red and blue fruit, potpourri, incense and smoky minerals pick up a spicy nuance as the wine opens up. Broad and seamless in the mouth, displaying fine delineation to the sappy, mineral drenched black raspberry, boysenberry, violet pastille and spicecake flavors. Shows a distinctly elegant character and finishes extremely long and sweet, with discreet tannins framing lingering blue fruit and floral notes.

cool and pure dark berry fruit and black cherry aromas to shine

intense and mineral-inflected large-scaled flavors evidence obvious muscularity as well as excellent length on the very firmly structured and youthfully austere finish
