Côte Rôtie Belle Hélène, Domaine Stéphane Ogier 2005

Tasting Notes

The polar opposite of the perfumed, elegant and nuanced Lancement cuvee, the blockbuster styled 2005 Cote Rotie Belle Helene has overflowing notes of smoked meats, peppery herbs, licorice, scorched earth and decadent dark fruits. Thick, unctuous, full-bodied and massively endowed, this superstar Cote Rotie won’t hit full maturity for another 4-6 years, and will keep for 10-15 years after that.
