France

Côte-Rôtie

Medium

Cork

A really quite ripe, sweet and balsamic aroma with cinnamon and cedar top notes. Fairly generous proportions on the palate, powerful and concentrated. Tangy, chocolate-coated black cherry finish with a little orange rind. A smoky, rich and toasty style that's in a good place now; slightly potent alcohol perhaps, but it suits the style. The liberal new oak adds cola and clove to the long finish. Lieux-dits Côte Blonde and Côte Brune, vines with an average age of 60 years, 40% whole bunch, 100% new oak barriques.
