This did not show as well as last time, lots of dried cooked fruits, stewed berries, spices on the nose, light body, with fine integrated tannins, medium intensity and length

At 12 years the color is still bold, the nose is good with red and black fruits, spice, smoke and some minty lift. Palate is smooth with good richness. Overall good but a bit muted, with no bright Cote Rotie nuances. The back label says ‘enjoy 3-10 years’, probably a fair call.

Some nose, smoke, black red berries, dark currant, spice and hints of dark minerals on the nose, palate is silky smooth, with well integrated tannins medium acidity and medium plus length

Spice box, smoke, vanilla and fresh, black raspberry notes lead to a supple, textured, forward, lush, modern style of Cote Rotie that will deliver its charms in its youth.
