The 1997 Cote Rotie is a sweet, flattering wine with a textbook black olive, bacon fat, black raspberry, and cherry-scented nose, medium body, an accessible, soft style, and good density and ripeness. There is some tannin, but because of its lower acidity, it comes across as user-friendly. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900
