Ogier Cote Rotie 2001

Red.

Sumptuous, mouth-watering nose of woodsmoke, sausage, grilled herbs and 5 spice powder. Killer.

Utterly round in the mouth, with no immediately obvious structure, but you don't miss it either. "Internally" structured, as this slowly shows its backbone. Very much a middle-weight, ultimately, with absolutely no excess weight. In the end, this is acid-dominant. Beautifully rendered wine, and a great example of (modern) Cote Rotie. Long, subtle stuff. No need to drink this soon.
