($75) Inky purple. Powerful, deeply fragrant bouquet displays ripe cherry and blackcurrant, with an exotic array of spices, flowers and olive. Remarkably fresh and light on its feet for such a concentrated wine, offering sweet cherry and dark berry liqueur flavors and velvety tannins. Finishes with a bright kick of red berries and outstanding persistence. This is already strikingly complex.

The 2005 Cote Rotie has a deep ruby/purple color and a beautiful, intense bouquet of black olives, a touch of pain grille, cassis, cherries, and incense. The wine is medium to full-bodied, a classic display of Cote Rotie that will probably benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and last for 12-15 years.

Really loaded, with plenty of cocoa powder and dark toast up front, followed by mouthwatering acidity that drives the dark plum, Turkish coffee, cassis bush and licorice snap flavors through the long, grippy finish. Still has some toast to shed, so cellar. 580 cases made.
