The 1999 Cote Rotie Les Becasses demonstrates why this vintage is Cote Rotie's finest since 1978. It possesses a dense/ruby colour, a sweet, jammy nose of blackberries, cassis, smoke and espresso, full body, low acidity, exceptional opulence, and impressive levels of glycerin and extract that tend to obscure the tannin. This hedonistic, voluptuously-styled Cote Rotie should drink well young, yet last for 15 years.
