lacking today's freshness and balance

precise and restrained medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent verve and a taut muscularity

spice and blood orange infuse the 2016 with incredible depth and complexity before it finishes with mind-blowing intensity

informed by white currant and lime as well as white peach

It is a tour de force

Rene Rostaing, Cote Rotie Classique Vintage:2004 lacking today's freshness and balanceA really delicious creamy peppercorn sauce nose, with smoked bacon and highly aromatic spice that grabs the attention. Round tannin, attractive smoke, meat juice, cracked pepper and black fruit, true Syrah all over. Good. (RH)
