St. Cosme Cote Rotie at a great price!



2011 St. Cosme Cote Rotie...$39.99
Lowest price online is $55.98
Release price $75
The 2011 Cote Rotie offers the classic perfume of the appellation, with savory meatiness, cracked pepper, rendered bacon fat, currant bud and lavender-like qualities all soaring from the glass. Coming mostly from schist soils (think Cote Brune-esque), it shows thrilling minerality on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness, polished tannin and serious length. Count me a fan and this top-notch effort will evolve gracefully for 10-12+ years.
Rated 92/100 The Wine Advocate
