Xavier Cotes du Rhone 100% 2016

Xavier "100%" var stor  i årgang 2015 - men 2016 er endnu større!

Sydrhône fra 2016 er drømmevin, som ingen må snyde sig for at opleve. Producenterne skal helt tilbage til 1998 - eller endda 1990 - for at finde kvalitet, der kan sammenlignes med 2016!

Samtidig er Xaviers 100% en af Danmarks absolut mest solgte Côtes du Rhône.

100% er helt mørk - tæt på sort i glasset. Indsmigrende rund bouquet af solmodne sommerbær med stænk af peber, mineraler og fadnoter. Koncentreret med fortryllende frugt, fulgt op af peber samt lidt lakrids og solbær i en lang, sprød afslutning. Alk. 14.5%.

91/100 Jeb Dunnuck "Brought up in tank, demi-muids, and some smaller barrels (only one-third in wood), the 2016 Côtes du Rhône Cuvée 100% is another fresh, lively wine from this estate. Black raspberries, scorched earth, lavender, and cured meat notes as well as lots of pepper all flow to a medium to full-bodied, fresh, elegant red that has good acidity, beautiful purity, and a great finish."

90/100 Robert Parker "A bit richer and more concentrated than the straight Cotes du Rhone, Vignon's 2016 Cotes du Rhone 100% is medium to full-bodied and dark in color, with silky tannins, purple fruit flavors and hints of dried spices and garrigue. It should drink well for the next 5-6 years."

90/100 Natalie Maclean "a full-bodied red wine blend of 40% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre with the balance Cinsault, Carignan and Marselan grapes with ripe cherry, plum, dried herb and lingering dark spice flavours on the palate. Tannins are silky. Enjoy now and for the next five years."
