Four bottles of 2012 Cotes du Rhone – Clos des Lumieres

Deep ruby in color.  Sweet black fruit, earth and spice.  Toasty.  Smooth.  Lovely, full, ripe entry, with polished tannins and plenty of black fruit.  Rich and full.  Pleasant mouthfeel.  Blackberries.  Soft fruit.  Lovely finish and aftertaste.  Wonderful drinking all the way.  Delicious.
