Young, but with an hour or so of air, this seductive, supple, medium/full bodied wine is making it hard to resist its sweet, fresh, kirsch, pepper, black raspberry, spice, floral and earthy pleasure. Lots of freshness and soft textures in the fruit filled finish. Drink this while you are waiting for the La Landonne to come around.

When to Drink Delas Freres Cote Rotie, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Delas Freres Cote Rotie, when young, should be decanted at least 1-3 hours, give or take, allowing the wines to soften and open their perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.

Delas Freres Cote Rotie is usually better with 5-12 years of cellaring and should be at its best between 10-20 years of age.
