Cote Rotie Fortis Stephane Montez 2014 (750ML)

92 Points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous: "Inky ruby. Vibrant blackberry, violet pastille, licorice and mineral aromas are complemented by a subtle spicecake nuance. Palate-staining black and blue fruit, mocha and Indian spice flavors show excellent focus, and a hint of star anise builds in the glass. Velvety and broad on the impressively long, energetic finish, which is framed by gentle, slow-building tannins." 7/17
