Côte-Rôtie, Côte Blonde--Vintage 1998
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: René Rostaing
Tasting note: It is no secret that Rostaing's finest cuvée is the 500+ cases of Côte-Rôtie Côte Blonde. The 1998 (all from La Garde) is made from vines planted in 1934 and 1970/71. It includes about 4 Viognier (the only Rostaing cuvée to contain this varietal), and 50 stems are utilized during fermentation. The exquisite, dense ruby/purple-coloured 1998 offers up soaring aromas of peach and blackberry jam. The wine is velvety-textured and full, with layers of glycerin, extract, and concentrated fruit, superb richness, impressive purity, and a finish that lasts 40+ seconds. Anticipated maturity: now-2015. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #133 Feb 2001
