Bernard Burgaud, Cote Rotie Vintage:2009 plum and plenty of spiceAgreeably fresh and spicy, with an aerial touch to the aromatics and a hint of cumin. Young at heart still, there are raspberry notes, a sappy fruitiness to the acidity and the tannins are very fine. Its neat and precise and drinking well now, theres no major hurry to drink up, but I'm not sure whether this will ever take on any great complexity.
