Critics Ratings

‘Medium to full-bodied, ripe, fresh, elegant, and powerful, with pepper, tapenade, cassis, and olive characteristics dominating its explosive, aromatic nose, the dark ruby/purple-tinged, medium to full-bodied 2007 Cote Rotie is extraordinarily pungent aromatically. That characteristic will no doubt be controversial, and consumers will either love it or leave it.’ - Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate, 90-93/100

‘Dark ruby. Potent aromas of berry and cherry skin, minerals and black olive, plus a hint of cracked pepper. Racy, finely etched raspberry and bitter cherry gain flesh with air and take on a sweet violet pastille quality. This juicy, refreshing and nicely balanced wine finishes with very good lift and persistent minerality.’ - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 92/100 (Jan 2010)
