Note di degustazione
Another wine that's a classic representation of the appellation and the vintage is the 2013 Cote Rotie, which all comes from parcels in the Cote Brune side of the appellation and offers textbook notes of black raspberries, spring flowers, smoke, olives and sappy underbrush. Complex, nuanced and layered, this medium-bodied beauty has fabulous tension and energy on the palate, with integrated acidity, fine, polished tannin and terrific length. It's not a blockbuster by any means, but it shines for its purity, elegance and length. It needs 3-4 years of cellaring and will drink well for a decade after that.

Opaque ruby. Seductive, mineral-accented aromas of blueberry preserves, cherry cola, violet and olive paste and a smoky mineral topnote. Dark berry liqueur flavors provide excellent energy, breadth and depth, displaying a subtle vanilla accent and building spiciness. Plays richness off vivacity with a sure hand and shows no excess weight. Finishes with impressively persistent black and blue fruit notes, velvety tannins and strong, spicy persistence.
100% Serine and Syrah (60 years old). Landonne, Chavaroche, Roziers, Les Rochains. 100% whole bunch, and 100% new Tronçais and Alliers oak . Purplish crimson. From the Côte Brune, and another extremely intense wine. Salty and savoury and uncompromising – again with more ripeness than many of its peers. Are these wines late picked or does the whole-bunch fermentation lead to this roundness? Rounder and broader than most Côte Rôtie yet with the trademark freshness of the appellation. Really humming and a bit like a Dyson on the palate. (JR)
