Tasting note

Also classic in style, the 2011 Cote Rotie Les Becasses offers up notions of peat moss, olive, licorice and earthy notes that are supported by gorgeous cassis and darker berry fruit. Textured, rich and with surprising depth and richness, this medium to full-bodied Cote Rotie can be consumed any time over the coming decade or more. Score - 91.
