Opened and drunk over 4 hours. Ruby with good bricking, a lovely mature Cote-Rotie with plenty of life left. Savoury with a certain meatiness and some leather but still showing some red fruits. Good acidity with some drying tannins but all still in balance.

Inexpressif au nez avec une bouche fluette à l'ouverture, le vin a été carafé 2h
Nez élégant avec des notes fumées épicées et florales. Le fruit est encore présent. La bouche a gagné en chair par rapport à l'ouverture. Elle est soyeuse avec beaucoup de fraîcheur dans un style plus longiligne que large. L'aromatique est toujours sur le fumé et le floral principalement. Belle finale avec de l'intensité et de la persistance
Superbe bouteille!

Fresh, vibrant, purity of fruit and depth, grilled meat. Really nice acidity, with integrated tannins. Nose and palate were great.
After 2-3 hours, lost some of its stuffing, became more strict and less giving. Was a better bottle than the98. I had forgotten that I had this before, very nice re-visit.

Pop and pour. Savory and tart on the palate with medium+ body and medium finish. Some notes of chocolate and blood. Very nice if you like this style.

Decanted and served. Plenty of dark fruit left well integrated with sweet acid and mature tannins. Nice little aged Côte Rotie.
