Among all the 2020 barrels, the 2020 Cote Rotie Cote Brune stood considerably above all the others (although the Cote Blonde wasn't that far behind). Blessed with incredibly floral, potpourri-like aromatics set against a backdrop of vibrant black raspberry fruit, it's medium to full-bodied and magically rich and intense without being weighty. Enormously long on the finish, it seamlessly combines all the elements of greatness—balance, length, intensity and complexity—into one superlative wine that should drink well for at least two decades.

Beautifully fragrant and floral, showing rose and violet characters. Super-fine, silky tannins and lovely acidity, this is an eminently classic Côte Brune, with flowers, cinnamon, black olive, rosemary and perfectly ripe, bright blackberries. It has a tapered finish - not the same concentration and power as 2019 - but with great finesse and elegance of expression. Beautifully balanced and very hard to fault. (MW)

Opaque violet color. Expansive, mineral-tinged aromas of vibrant red and blue fruits, incense, bacon, olive and pungent flowers are accented by an exotic Moroccan spice nuance. At once deeply concentrated and energetic on the palate, offering intense boysenberry, black raspberry, olive paste, smoked meat, five-spice powder and violet flavors that are underscored by a core of minerality. Firmly gripping tannins build steadily through a floral- and mineral-driven finish that hangs on with resonating spiciness and outstanding tenacity. (JR)

The 2020 Côte Rôtie Côte Brune is more elegant and finesse-driven than the base cuvée, with medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors as well as brilliant game, minerality, violets, and classic Côte Rôtie smokiness. As with the base Côte Rôtie, it’s not massive but shines for its elegance, purity, and just gorgeous overall balance. This is going to warrant a solid 7-8 years of bottle age, but it’s one heck of a thrilling Côte Rôtie in the making.

Notes

John Livingstone Learmonth The Cradle of the Rhone: "(used 500-litre cask) dark red; broad, ripe, rich nose, more rich than usual, is vintage struck, black cherry, blueberry, graphite, tea leaves, some vegetal clarity from the stems, liqueur notes. The palate is expressive, flows well, is thorough but fluid, mobile, with inner persistence towards the finish. It has a real lip smack aftertaste. This is fulsome Brune, glimpses of terroir in its cool, fine spine. Wait for the place to come along. The juice is concentrated, silken, too. From 8+ years. 2053-55 June 2021."
