Rene Rostaing, Cote Rotie Classique Vintage:2004 A blend of 94% Cabernet

A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon

This is an excellent example of the genre

Mild wood influence sets off a highly complex nose comprised of fresh red currant and blue pinot fruit aromas that are liberally laced with warm earth and a sauvage hint that carries over to the relatively refined and supple yet entirely serious

with very fine tannins and a long finish

black raspberries and black currants plus a hint of iron ore

Rene Rostaing, Cote Rotie Classique Vintage:2004 A blend of 94% CabernetA 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)
