Tasting Notes

95
Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Apr 20
Inky ruby. An expansive, smoke- and mineral-accented bouquet evokes fresh black and blue fruits, licorice, incense and violet, and an exotic spice nuance emerges as the wine stretches out. Sweet, broad and muscular in style, offering cassis, boysenberry, cherry liqueur and spicecake flavors supported by a spine of juicy acidity. Plays richness off finesse with a steady hand and finishes with superb, dark-fruit-dominated tenacity and solid, youthfully tannic grip.
Drinking Date: 2024 - 2033

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Joe Czerwinski - 19 Dec 19
With aromas of menthol, cola and baking spices alongside dark, plummy fruit, the 2017 Cote Rotie les Rochains comes across as oaky and perhaps a bit too polished and modern. It's full-bodied, creamy and lush. Long and mouthwatering on the finish, it boasts undeniable appeal even if it doesn't scream of its terroir.
Drinking Date: 2021 - 2032

Pepper, sweet oak spice, chocolate, black cherry and lovely charred meat too. Fine tannic texture, rich fruit right through to the finish. Lovely, long savoury persistence. (RH)

Cote-Rotie Vineyard Fine Wine

Cote Rotie

Côte-Rôtie, a distinguished Northern Rhône appellation, is famed for its elegant, complex Syrah-based red wines. The name means "Roasted Slope," reflecting its sun-drenched, steep hillsides. These wines often blend Syrah with a small amount of Viognier, adding floral notes to rich dark fruit flavours like blackberries and plums, with peppery, smoky undertones. Top producers include E. Guigal, Domaine Jamet, and Domaine Côte-Rôtie, all celebrated for crafting some of the region's most revered wines.
