Bernard Burgaud, Cote Rotie Vintage:2009 The more robust

The more robust

giving way to ripe blackberries with a subtle citrus twang

it did not show particularly well today

with very integrated oak after 14 months in barrel and two months in oak vats

energetic finish that features well-knit tannins and a resonating mineral note

Bernard Burgaud, Cote Rotie Vintage:2009 The more robustAgreeably fresh and spicy, with an aerial touch to the aromatics and a hint of cumin. Young at heart still, there are raspberry notes, a sappy fruitiness to the acidity and the tannins are very fine. Its neat and precise and drinking well now, theres no major hurry to drink up, but I'm not sure whether this will ever take on any great complexity.
