1969 Delas Frères Côte-Rôtie

Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Tuesday, December 30, 2014 - Served blind tonight alongside the '90 Hommage and the '89 La Turque and this was a shocker. Simply pure and beautifully soft with fully resolved tannins and a silky mouthfeel. There are classic flavors of Cote Rotie including black pepper, char and baconfat and really good intensity and freshness for such an old wine. The finish is so smooth with a lovely fine complexity with nice spice, violet and mineral notes. Just a testament to how long Cote Roties can age and improve.
