Xavier Gerard, Cote Rotie Vintage:2015 particularly anise that complement toGrard's 2015 Cote Rotie (tasted from a 375 milliliter bottle) is in a good place right now. Dense, concentrated and creamy textured, it evokes the vintage's warm character, delivering black cherries and black olives in equal measure. Full bodied and velvety in feel, it might lack a bit of elegance, but it delivers plenty of flavor. Drink it over the next decade.
