The 2021 Mont-Redon Côtes du Rhône Rouge Reserve is a beauty. Delicious now but will reward 5 years of cellaring. It is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah.
Ripe and generous with complex red and black fruit character plus a slew of spice, licorice and old balsamic vinegar aromas. This is an excellent Cotes-du-Rhone that's not a jot too rich. The tannins and bitter chocolate character build impressively at the long finish. 93 points. James Suckling
