2012 TOP 50 WINES - Rank #35
The 2010 GT-X Côtes du Rhône Villages is a blend sourced from the top quality barrels of the vintage, which certainly reflects in the wine, as it does not hold anything back. Intoxicating aromas of freshly crushed blackberries, sweet dark plums, fresh mineral, lavender, beautiful floral with hints of coffee and well-integrated toasted oak. This is so full, rich and concentrated, but it’s also backed up by a gorgeous vein of minerality, which stretches straight through the body right into the long mouth-watering finish. Whether you decide to drink this right now or have fun watching it develop over the next decade, this is a wine that will provide great drinking pleasure. (Best 2012-2023) - August, 2012 (JD)
