2019 Stéphane Ogier Côte-Rôtie Côte Bodin

The 2019 Côte Rôtie Côte Bodin is another pretty, perfumed, lifted, and complex vintage for this terroir. Red, blue, and black fruits as well as notes of acacia flowers, mint, incense, and leather define the bouquet, and it's medium-bodied, with a pretty, elegant, silky mouthfeel and outstanding length. It has some accessibility but, as with all of these newly released 2019s, it's going to benefit from at least 2-4 years of bottle age.
