DOMAINE ROSTAING
Côte Rôtie Côte Blonde 2023
- 95 points -
The 2023 Côte-Rôtie Côte Blonde makes a compelling start at this youthful stage, opening with pronounced orange blossom, peak-fresh black cherry, spice box and crushed violets. Pencil shavings and blackberry add further aromatic breadth. The 2023 touches the medium to full-bodied palate with elevated flavor concentration, effortlessly balanced by uplifting acidity that brings verve and beguiling tension. The finish is extremely tight and linear, carrying through to a long, elegant close. This is outstanding.
