Cote-Rotie Rene Rostaing 1999

Sweet musky nose of mild appealing spice. Appealing cassis and raspberries join in shortly after the wine was poured.

Smooth light sweet feel with a mild acidity, herbs and spice.

A light bodied Cote-Rotie with a smooth spicy finish.

Ripe, tasty, yet simple and one dimensional.

An appealing yet disappointing Cote-Rotie in terms of body and complexity.

Drink 2006-2007.

Tasted October 2006.

I realize this is Rostaing's simpler version, yet I find no relation to his top wines, not something I would expect from a viticulteur.

I was taught to finish what I order.

Life taught me to order what I enjoy.

The art of living taught me to take my time and enjoy.
