| Tasting note |
The 2016 Cotes du Rhone Villages Cuvee Setier is a blend of 60% Grenache and 20% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, with an average vine age of 50 years. Violets and raspberries mark the nose, along with hints of leather and mint. Still richly tannic, full-bodied and velvety in feel, with a long finish, it looks to have the ability to age for at least a decade from the vintage. By Wine Advocate, Oct 2020.
The 2016 Côtes du Rhône Village Setier, also still in tank, offers more structure and tannin, with lots of black fruits, roasted herbs, olive tapenade, and obvious minerality. By Jeb Dunnuck, Aug 2018.
A suave mesquite note curls up from the core of gently steeped plum and red currant flavors, carrying through the dried lavender–tinged finish. By Wine Spectator, 2020. |
