90 cases imported

It is very clear and there is no hint of botrytis here

these represent the pinnacle of Cote Rotie—albeit in very different styles

I would add that these wines are also a steal considering the prices asked for Eszencias from other producers

Joseph Drouhin, Romanee Saint Vivant Vintage:1996 90 cases importedAiry, pure, elegant and extremely expressive as the aromas just float from the glass with rose petal and assorted floral notes. The mineral infused, racy and finely delineated flavors are nuanced and textured though the backend has a somewhat dry and edgy quality to it that is highlighted by the racy finishing acidity. This is still entirely primary and should age well for a number of years. 90 2010+
