Caves de Rasteau, Ortas Prestige, Rasteau, Rhône, 2010

88
Tasted by: Stephen Brook, Jason Haynes, Jasper Morris MW
Drinking Window: 2016 - 2017
Lifted spicy, floral, nutty nose with undertones of stewed blackberries. Powerful palate clad with nutty, spicy oak and ripe but mouth-coating tannins but, remarkably, the rich fruit is still going strong. A mature Southern Rhone that punches above its weight.
