This is an impressive wine

Still a bit edgy owing to its firm acid/tannin spine and mineral underpinning but finishes with subtle length

the nose is fantastically floral

violet candy and smoky minerals show excellent clarity and spicy lift

weight and mid-palate concentration to the velvety and delicious finish that possesses fine length on the balanced finish

Duclaux, Cote Rotie Maison Rouge Vintage:2019 This is an impressive wineRacy and fresh, with a sanguine thread at the center that gives this a mouthwatering edge, while cassis, bitter cherry and savory details fill in around. There's a nice encore of fruit through the finish, with a flash of dark olive adding a nice textural note. Best from 2023 through 2038. 400 cases made, 400 cases imported.
