Flight 1 (2 Notes)

  • 1991 Rene Rostaing Côte-Rôtie Côte Blonde 88 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie

    Medium garnet core, pale garnet rim. Initially shows a mustiness with blows off in half an hour or so. Still a touch reticent though but starting to show dark fruit, notes of bacon. Medium/full on the palate, quite stern, dense, savoury, a touch reticent, spice, showing quite a firm backbone and perhaps a touch constricted in the finish. More interesting than loveable.

  • 1991 Rene Rostaing Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 90 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie

    Medium/deep garnet/mahogany. Initially a little tired and stewed, this pulled itself together nicely with time in glass with florals, savoury game and underlying red fruit. Medium bodied on the palate. all savoury red fruits and florals, quite delicate and elegant with soft tannins, vibrant acidity and a very good length lightly grippy finish. Excellent, drinking well.

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie

    Deep ruby/purple. Youthful, pure purple fruits, black pepper, medium/full bodied, purple fruit, fine but firm tannins, bright acidity, very good length finish. Potentially excellent if a touch difficult to judge at this stage.
