2018 Rhône

2017 Côte-Rôtie, Côte Brune, Domaine Rostaing Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%

The Rostaings only make Côte Brune in the very best vintages, and 2017 fits the bill. Wonderful nose and palate, so fine and juicy, with silky acidity and excellent purity. There’s an energy here, with guts and depth, so much structure, and also so much classicism, but opulent, too, in its own way. Incredible.

2017 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, Domaine Rostaing Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%

Dark and intense on the nose, it’s mineral with wonderful density. There’s a balance here, with so much berry character and silkiness and wonderful grip on the finish, with a salty tang. Outstanding.
