The 2020 Côte Rôtie Le Vialliere is more unformed and unevolved
Many are quick to dismiss it given the difficulties of the growing season that saw abundant rain
earthy and gently nutty aromas
concentrated and powerful medium weight plus flavors possess a seductive and velvety mouth feel
Peter Michael, L'Esprit des Pavots Size:12x750ml The 2020 Côte Rôtie LeA gorgeous second wine, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon L'Esprit des Pavots is succulent, racy and inviting. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice and new leather flesh out in this super expressive, pliant red wine from Peter Michael. Floral overtones add lift through to the finish. I would prefer to drink the 2015 over the near and medium term, as it is already quite expressive and delicious. The blend is 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc,
