Critique Review
"Made from 100% Syrah, the 2018 Côte Rôtie Laurus sports a saturated purple color as well as a stunning bouquet of black raspberries, blueberries, new saddle leather, camphor, and spring flowers. One of the finest vintages I've tasted for this cuvée, it's full-bodied, has wonderful purity, sweet tannins, and just loads to love."
