Levet, Cote Rotie, La Chavaroche 2010
96 Points CellarTracker
Deep dark cherry red, slightly beginning browning color. Beef stock, smoked lard, red berries. Beautiful developed aromas wafting from the glass, nuanced, developing time wise. On the palate an elegant Côte Rôtie unfolding with time, blueberries, suitably framed tannins, the palate mirroring the aromas coming from the glass.
After some hours acidity comes a bit more to the fore. 3/2/2024
94 points Int'l Wine Cellar
Inky ruby. Dark fruit preserves, olive, violet, smoked meat and minerals on the flamboyantly perfumed nose. Sappy, penetrating cassis and blueberry flavors show wonderful clarity and pick up floral pastille and anise flavors with air. Concentrated but in no way heavy. Closes on a sweet note, with slow-building tannins and smoky persistence. All signs point to this wine being one for the long haul. (JR) (3/2013)
