Note di degustazione
The 2004 Cote Rotie Les Grandes Places is relatively soft, fleshy, and surprisingly fat and opulent for a wine from this vintage. Deep ruby/purple with wonderful floral, black cherry, and pain grille notes as well as hints of licorice and spice, it should drink nicely for 10-12 years. One of the most innovative and progressive producers in Cote Rotie, Jean-Michel Gerin, has also branched out with a project in Priorat, Spain, turning out some very fine wines called Trio Infernal. His 2004s (of course, a fabulous vintage in Spain) are certainly outstanding wines, made from Grenache and very old-vine Carignan. Importers: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel.

Ruby-red. Exotic, expressive blackberry, mulberry and candied cherry aromas are seductively accented by Asian spices and cracked pepper. Firm, gently tannic and deep in dark berry flavor, opening with aeration and gaining sweetness on the finish. There's just enough tannin here for structure but this sexy wine is all about lush, spicy fruit.
Medium ruby color. Explosive aromas of ripe blackberry, fresh flowers and tarragon. Distinctly floral in the mouth, with a lush, creamy cassis flavor that reaches every nook and cranny of the palate. Sappy and very concentrated. Finishes with substantial but fully buffered tannins. Impressive for the power of its aromas as well as the intensity of its berry tones.
