Brilliant stuff, Billon's 2016 Côte Rôtie Les Elotins is a blend of 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier that spent 22 months in once- and twice-used barrels. Deep, rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it has more depth and richness than most in this classic, charming vintage. Saturated purple-colored, with terrific notes of cassis, blackberries, scorched earth, violets, and graphite, it hits the palate with a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, good acidity, and present yet sweet tannins, all of which give it a classic feel. Drink this balanced, layered 2016 any time over the coming 10-15 years. Wa 90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, November 2018 Cedar, baking spices and black olives appear on the nose of the 2016 Cote Rotie Les Elotins. This medium to full-bodied effort shows excellent concentration and attractive mulberry fruit flavors on the palate, turning dry.
