1997 Chapoutier Cote Rotie La Mordoree

Tasting Note:

The 1997 Cote Rotie La Mordoree is an extremely expressive open-knit aromatic and seductive example. Chapoutier believes it is the finest he has ever made. It is soft accessible and easy to understand. The saturated ruby/purple color is accompanied by tell-tale aromas of black raspberries roasted herbs smoke and meat. The wine is medium to full-bodied and moderately tannic with low acidity superb concentration and an intense black cherry camphor-like olive component. This wine should be drinkable upon release and last for two decades. Importer: Paterno Imports Lake Bluff IL; tel. (847) 604-8900 Source: Wine Advocate
