To date, this has been the best wine produced at Duboeuf's Cote Rotie estate. The wine remains deeply colored, tannic, and backward, with plenty of concentration, body, and tannin. It is a muscular, borderline rustic style of Cote Rotie that should age effortlessly for another 10-15 years. If all the tannin melts away and the wine achieves complete harmony it will merit an outstanding score. Drink it between 1999 and 2010. Last tasted 8/96.
