Domaine Duclaux - La Germine | Côte-Rôtie
Red wine | France, RHONE | 2019
Like the other Côte Rôties from Duclaux, the 2017 Cote Rotie La Germine is medium-bodied, emphasizing the elegance and delicacy of the southern end of the appellation. A liniment-like minty, herbal note marks the nose, joined by red raspberries. This is ripe, marked by supple tannins and a creamy texture, without going overboard, with a juicy, silky finish.
