Lustrous, jet-shot plum, this is extraordinary on the nose, dark and earthy with, unusual in the north, cut herbs, wild rosemary and forest floor notes. The palate is similarly dark and brooding
- intensely concentrated fruit supported by a ripe, firm tannic structure.
"This is a really serious Côte-Rôtie, grown up and avuncular with intriguing, underlying savoury notes suggesting something of its future - impressive - structured for the long haul."
