Wow. What a nose. I love Riottes. What a nose. Glorious. Nutty, big cherry, spice, flowers, so aromatic. Perfumed. Even a sweetness. Gorgeous. Lacey and elegant palate with sap and deep dark cherry fruit. Terrific sweetness and grip. Very mineral and substantial. Even refined. Brilliant 11.!

Delicious and perfumey after just 15 minutes in the decanter. Sappy cherry, violets, forest floor, and beautiful slightly earthy minerality. Flavorful and clingy, it's more athletic than voluptuous. Bright and balanced.

11's drinking very well now. Glorious nose of cherries, spices, elegant oak spice, tea leaves, wet earth and Stoney minerals. So nice now. Super juicy palate with nice freshness and a ton of fruit. Really complex out of the gates and just in a great place. Florent is such a talent.

Epic. Spice. Bright cherries. Hint of licorice. An “I love life” wine. Bought from fass selections.
