RENE ROSTAING CÔTE-RÔTIE CÔTE BLONDE 2005

Rhône.
1 x scraped label

Like most 2005s, Rostaing’s 2005 Côte Rôtie Côte Blonde is still backwards and tight, with bright acidity giving lift to classic notes of dark fruits, iron, violets, and minerality. Much more reserved and focused than the ’06, yet with superb mid-palate depth, awesome purity of fruit and no shortage of tannin, it needs another 3-4 years in the cellar and should be very long-lived. February 2015 Drink: 2017-2035 WA 95+

2 bts.    per lot $400 - $600

Realised: $864
