The 2013 Cote Rotie comes mostly from the Cote Brune side of the appellation, yet still has a fabulous sense of elegance and purity. Chocolate, blackberry, charcoal, rose petals and violets all emerge from the glass, and on the palate it's medium-bodied, elegant and lengthy, with fine tannin and no hard edges. It can be enjoyed today, or cellared for a decade.
