Even better than last year, the recently bottled 2017 Cote Rotie La Cote Blonde was singing when I tasted it back in July. Floral and berry notes accent mocha-tinged aromas in this medium to full-bodied wine. It's silky, long and intense, with a couple of decades of life ahead of it. It's simply difficult to describe the waves of savory complexity this wine now shows, coupled with a succulent texture and tremendous length.
Jancis Robinson: Very private on the nose. Tightly clenched fruit on the palate. All tension and suspense. Weighty and fragrant, but the youthfulness is very obstructive to taste now.
