Romain Duvernay Côte Rôtie 2009

Côte Rôtie, Northern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceOpen spicy, liquorice root, meaty, gamey with hints of blackberry, tobacco, curry, saddle leather aromas. Dry, fresh, elegant but slightly lean and tight on entry with light tannins. Smoky herb, tobacco, roast meat and savoury black cherry flavours. The finish is also slightly lean and tart with some light, grippy tannins to shed. Serve now with lamb or give it a few years in the cellar.Tasted: 10 May 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
