If it is not quite as tightly wound as in some years
a higher side of the vineyard and a lower one (near Damilano and Ceretto)
Wine doesn t get any better
sensual and powerful to the core
I'd like to see more proof of development here around 2030
Rene Rostaing, Cote Rotie Landonne other_regions If it is not quiteThe 2001 Cote Rotie La Landonne reveals a roasted espresso character along with licorice, pepper, scorched earth, and dense blackberry and cassis fruit. Firm, tannic, and masculine as well as aromatic (a characteristic of this cool vintage), it requires another 2 3 years of cellaring, after which it should last for 7 8 years. Rene Rostaing is one of the most masterful growers and bottlers of Cote Rotie. Sadly, there is not much produced. P. S. Pierre
