Remi Niero, Cote Rotie Vires Serine Brut Zero (87-90)/2016+

(87-90)/2016+

Once again at least some patience will be necessary as this is presently quite tightly wound

The rich and velvety medium-bodied flavors possess a mouthfeel that is much like those of the Clos du Chapeau in that it’s borderline creamy while delivering fine depth and length on the ever-so-mildly warm finale

pungent earth and evident game nuances

earth and dark berries mingled with vanilla pod

Remi Niero, Cote Rotie Vires Serine Brut Zero (87-90)/2016+Black raspberries, red plums, flowery incense, and sandalwood notes all emerge from the 2020 Cte Rtie Vires De Serine, a medium bodied, pure, pretty, exotic, and floral Cte Rtie that has supple tannins and a great finish. It's clearly an outstanding wine, but it's going to need a few years of bottle age.
