The limited production but phenomenal 2004 Cote Rotie La Belle Helene is one of the candidates for the wine of the vintage. Tannic and dense ruby/purple, it is more masculine and austere than usual, but still concentrated with tangy acidity, loads... |

Soft and Grenachy with 50% Syrah. Very good Chateauneuf style, with crisp natural acidity. The 2008 CDR is really excellent and a delight to drink. Leave for 5 minutes to breathe. |

The 2006 is superior to the 2005, with deeper, dark ruby colour, sweeter black cherry and berry fruit, with notes of pepper, herbs, and spice. It is an attractive, charming, delicious wine which will drink over the next 7-8 years. |

I was given a bottle of La Rosine by a friend as a joke on my surname and I nearly didn't drink it. Since then I have followed everyone of his vintages and go and taste twice a year at the cellars. My only regret is that I am unable to obtain enough... |
