The 1989 exhibits the superb black/ruby/purple color that Burgaud claims comes from his high vinification temperature and his tendency to do numerous pigeages (pushing down and breaking up the cap in the fermenting wine). This huge, blockbuster, concentrated, intense Cote Rotie needs several years in the bottle and has the potential to last 20. Among the relatively soft, low-acid 1989 Cote Roties, this one has gobs of everything, including acidity, a tremendous tannin level, and outstanding concentration and intensity of fruit. Last tasted 12/95.
