The same wine as the CDRV Philippine, yet raised in demi-muid as opposed to tank, the 2013 C?tes du Rh?ne Villages Cuvee Gabrielle is a thrilling bottle of wine that offers tons of crème de cassis, vanilla bean, toasted spice and licorice on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, voluptuous, layered and concentrated, with a big mid-palate, it’s a seriously good 2013 to buy by the case and drink over the coming 4-5 years.
