The outstanding 2010 Cote Rotie La Garde possesses lots of floral notes intermixed with caramelized white fruits, raspberries, black cherries, licorice and toasty oak. This broad, savory, expansive, medium to full-bodied Cote Rotie is ideal for drinking over the next decade. Aside from a straightforward, one-dimensional Condrieu, this estate, owned by Guigal, is making better balanced, more interesting wines than they were a decade ago. The 2009 Cote Roties have just been released by Bonserine. (Most Guigal wines are released later into the marketplace because of more extended upbringings/elevages.)
