The pretty, elegant and ruby/plum-colored 2013 Cote Rotie (there's 10% Viognier in the blend) offers perfumed notes of black cherries, currants, spring flowers and licorice in a medium-bodied, supple, forward and endearing style. While already hard to resist -- the bottle will be empty before you know it -- it should evolve nicely on its balance over the coming 5-8 years.
