Côte-Rôtie is a cellaring wine. Lovers of old vintages can keep it for 10-15 years before opening. It can however be enjoyed as soon as it is bottled, it will have hints of cinnamon and bramble mingle into ripe black raspberry and cassis flavors here. It’s a softly edged, delicately textured sip that falls on smooth, feathery tannins.
Great pairing with barbecued rib of beef, lamb and truffle flavoured dishes.
