The 2011 Cote Rotie Brune et Blonde is impressive. Giving up a classic 2011 perfumed style, with lots kirsch, potpourri, cedar and spice, it's medium-bodied, seamless and silky on the palate, with no hard edges and some sweetness to its tannin. Already hard to resist, it should be ready to go on release and offer plenty of pleasure through 2021 or so.
