Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2005-2013, Jancis Robinson MW, Feb 2005

Rather grey crimson. Opulent, attention-grabbing, still slightly oaky (though much less so than in may 04) nose that is, just, the right side of overripe. Something rather coffee bean and torrefaction about it. Lots of acidity but some round meaty rather attractive fruit too. Very typical. Still quite a bit of acidity. (JR)

Score 94-96/100 · Drink 2002-2020, Robert Parker, Oct 1999

An amazing effort is the 1998 Cote Rotie, which comes from three hillside vineyards - La Landonne, Les Grandes Places, and Cote Rozier. The wine's dark purple color is followed by an explosive, exotic bouquet of bacon fat, cherry liqueur, black olives, roasted meats, and toasty wood. This expressive, voluptuously-textured, full-bodied, powerful, concentrated Cote Rotie reveals some tannin in the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020.
