A terrific bottle from one of the best Côte-Rôtie producers. Deep, pure, and still bright and vibrant on both the nose and palate. The bouquet is a fine and youthful blend of black raspberries, grilled meat, dark soil tones, pepper and a bit of lavender in the upper register. It has to be one of the great bargains in Rhône and probably the world. Only 6 cases come to Colorado.
