1999 Domaine Andre Francois Cote Rotie Rhone

Robust black plum/black berry fruit on the nose with shades of old leather saddle, fresh earth and black pepper spice. Smooth and rounded at the edges this is an excellent example of Cote Rotie, sophisticated but unrefined, Shiraz in the northern Rhone seems a bit untamed, but we like that. Finish 40+ EXCELLENT
