Score 94-96/100 · Drink 2022-2035, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Jan 2020

Out of barrel, Gaillard's 2018 Cote Rotie Esprit de Blonde is full-bodied and sturdy yet silky and elegant, with ripe black cherries (in contrast to the red fruit in the 2017). It seems more concentrated and should be a bit longer-lived than the 2017.
