Marie et Pierre Benetiere, Cote Rotie Cordeloux, 2010 (1.5L) David Bowler 2024 Austria_Germany and playfulThe 2010 Rhne was legendary for Syrah, and this small scale artisan bottling from the Cordeloux vineyard proves why. Pungent dark berries and violets meet zesty mineral complexity and cracked black peppera wine with both power and precision that needs cellar time to unfold its full personality.
