Ripe dark cherry fruit, moving towards slightly dried, smoky/spicy 4EG character, woodsmoke, smoked meat, sanguine, peppercorn, roasted herbs, salt and granite. Mod body, firm and chiseled despite the vintage warmth, lovely and traditional Côte Rôtie.

2009 vintage. Great fruit on the nose - mulberry, cranberry, stewed cherries. Very youthful, bar a tad of tan leather. Cinnamon and smoke, white pepper. On the palate, dry but with a slight sweet after taste from the primary fruit. Medium plus acidity. Medium plus body and finish. Medium tannin - integrated. Lovely wine with food but don't open for another 5+ years.

Fresh and vibrant, sappy extract, but not sweet at all. Many years ahead of this baby

Lacked the finesse and excitement I found in the 2008. Very floral with an attractive nose. #coterotie #cluselroch

Nice but not great. Relatively approachable but needs time.

Hints of dark fruit and coffee beans on the nose opens to a pallet of dark fruit, wood, and delectable tannin. Paired well with veal chops.
