Xavier Vieilles Vignes Côtes du Rhône 2020

The spicy nose with a slew of red-fruit aromas pulls you into this full-bodied but lively and very well-balanced Cote-du-Rhone. Lovely, creamy texture that’s neatly supported by fine tannins. Long, supple finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold [through 2025]. Score – 92. (jamessuckling.com, March 21, 2022)
