Delas Frères La Landonne (Côte-Rôtie)
Powerful, long, concentrated and intense, the wine is full bodied, richly textured and packed with perfectly ripe, dark red fruits. There is a purity to the fruits that stands out, and is made even better by the appearance of spice box notes, truffles, wet earth, licorice and pepper. Lay this down for another 6-10 years and this will be a superb wine. 2,870 Views Tasted Mar 12, 2018 |
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.
