The 2014 Côtes du Rhône Villages-Cairanne ‘Cuvée Benjamin’ opens up with lovely aromas of dark raspberries and plums, followed by exotic spices, white pepper and licorice accents all taking shape in the glass. This medium-plus red possesses a round, velvety texture with notable depth and balance as it heads into the finish. While this is already showing some appealing characteristics, it will ultimately be best with some short-term cellaring. (Best 2017-2022) - December, 2016 (JD)
