A lovely rich colour, the nose here is a little more sedate and restrained, offering a blend of violets, roses, spice and pot pourri. The palate is rich and rounded, with a breezy, aromatic lift. Structured and serious, there is also a very pretty, fresh-berried dimension, complemented by wild herbs. Mineral throughout, this is a fine, complex Côte-Rôtie, rich, pure and very long.
