Already very approachable, the 2022 Red Côtes-du-Rhône Terre de Galets opens with smoky notes and subtly infused aromas of rose and peony, all wrapped in great freshness. The well-balanced palate, framed by fine tannins, releases a dense and smooth juice. This is a very charming, harmonious wine with understated aging and a long, spicy, peppery finish. Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee. |
