| 2000 Mourre du Tendre Cotes du Rhone Cotes du Rhone, France WB Rating: 87 Alcohol by volume: 13.5% Price at time of purchase: $11.99 (Premier Cru) Type: Rhone Principal varietal(s): Southern Rhone blend This is not your everyday Cotes du Rhone. Firm, classy structure; has the feel of a Chateauneuf though not quite the depth. Ripe cherry and strawberry fruit, firm tannins, excellent balance of fruit and structure. Will only get better. I'm finding that I sometimes prefer top-flight, fruit-filled Cotes du Rhones to the more expensive Chateuneufs. - HK 2004-11-09 [Back] |
