Note di degustazione
Dark purple. Highly expressive blackberry, potpourri and licorice aromas show outstanding clarity and minerally lift. Palate-staining, expansive dark berry, floral pastille and fruitcake flavors are firmed by a spine of juicy minerality that adds back-end cut. Gains energy on the impressively persistent finish, which repeats the dark berry quality and leaves a vibrant echo of minerality behind.

Showing the minerality and masculine character that's the hallmark of this site, the 2014 Côte Rôtie les Grandes Places is medium-bodied, rich, firm and structured, with lots of black fruits, crushed rocks and pepper. It is the most backward and reserved of the three Côte Rôties, so give bottles 3-4 years and enjoy over the following decade.
(aged in 25% new oak): Bright purple. Intensely perfumed aromas of dark berry preserves, cherry compote, pipe tobacco, licorice and vanilla show very good focus. Stains the palate with intense, gently sweet blueberry and bitter cherry flavors that become deeper and spicier with air. Packs a solid punch but comes off graceful and precise, finishing with wonderful persistence and velvety, slowly emerging tannins.
