Cote Rotie, Lancement, Domaine Michel et Stephane Ogier

Note:

Deep ruby. Highly expressive aromas of candied red and dark berries, along with suggestions of potpourri and smoky minerals. Sweet and seamless on the palate, offering intense raspberry and boysenberry flavours that become fleshier with air. Pure and precise, finishing with excellent clarity and lift thanks to juicy acidity. Fine grained tannins come in late and add shape to the long, spicy, floral finish. Ogier compared this wine to his 2007 and predicts that it will probably never really close down.
