Cellier des Dauphins Réserve Côtes du Rhône 2022

A generous Cotes du Rhone with stacks of blackberry and red berry fruit plus a touch of licorice. The ample soft tannins on the full-bodied palate give this an attractively velvety mouthfeel, then comes a blast of blueberry at the generous, but moderately dry finish. A cuvee of 60% grenache and 40% syrah. Drink now [or hold until 2028]. Score – 90. (Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com, Feb. 1, 2024)
