Gilles Barge Cote Rotie Cote Brune 1995
Tasting Note
'1995 was only the second vintage for the Côte Brune to be bottled on its own, and it is truly and exceptional effort in this classic year. The bouquet is deep, complex and focused, wafting from the glass in a mix of cassis, black cherries, bitter chocolate, a touch of venison, gentle nuttiness, plenty of smokiness and a great vein of complex soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure on the attack, with a fine core, outstanding focus and grip and a very long, modestly tannic and very soil-driven finish. Just a classic bottle of Côte Brune, the 1995 version from Gilles Barge could still use a few more years in the cellar to blossom more fully and should continue to drink beautifully for many decades.'
