Score 90-92/100 · Robert Parker
The opaque purple-colored 1998 Cote Rotie (100% Syrah, with a portion from the Vialliere vineyard) exhibits surprisingly sweet tannin. Rostaing destemmed about 50% of this cuvee, resulting in gorgeous levels of creamy black fruits, subtle smoke and toast, a voluptuous texture, and a forward, easy to drink and understand style. Concentrated, sensual, and velvety-textured, this lovely Cote Rotie will drink well upon release and over the following decade.
