Yves Cuilleron, Cote Rotie Lieu Dit Bonnivieres other_regions boysenberry lavender pastille and spicecakeDarker red and black cherries, iron, ozone, smoked meats, crushed stone, and dark chocolate all emerge from the 2022 Cte Rtie Lieu Dit Bonnivires, another brilliant 2022 from Yves. I love the balance and purity here. It has a concentrated mid palate, ripe, polished tannins, and serious depth. The tannin quality is absolutely terrific. Hide bottles for 4 5 years and enjoy over the following 15+. Drink 2030 2045.
