Michel & Stephane Ogier, Cote Rotie Vintage:2011 this is an attractive mix98. 5% Syrah, 1. 5% Viognier, co fermented. Aged for 20 months in 55% new oak. Theres a slightly oxidative note to the fruit here. Attractive minty aromatic quality. Thick, fibrous mouthfeel. Not sure I would age this for a very long time. (RH)
