Vraiment trop boisé à l’ouverture, on dirait un jeune Bordeaux!
La carafe lui fait le plus grand bien, je recommanderais au moins deux ou trois heures afin de lui permettre de se libérer de ces arômes envahissant. Après aération, il se révèle. On remarque d'abord une très belle texture raffinée, avec fruité est mûr et des tanins d’une finesse impressionnante. La finale n’est pas asséchante malgré l’élevage marqué. Il a fini par me conquérir. La prochaine bénéficiera d'une longue aération. 93+ pts

Dark coffee, mint and sweet oak notes on the nose on an elegant but rich, full bodied palate. Medium acidity kept this fresh in a rather hot vintage. This has structure to age more but it’s drinking quite well right now. I’d say it’s in its sweet spot. Long succulent dark berry and oak finish. 2009 Delas La Landonne Cote Rotie. Modern style but elegant.

Decanted briefly. Gorgeous masculine Cote-Rotie with cigar ash, oily rocks, smoked meat. Aged beautifully.

Notes of black tea and some red fruits. Limited breathing time
