I bought this Guigal Cote-Rotie Brune et Blonde 2001 in a half bottle. The Cote Brune and the Cote Blonde are, respectively, the two regions within Cote-Rotie. The Brune is known for power, the Blonde for elegance and aroma. This is a blend of the two.
Sight: Purple core and red rim. It looks elegant.
Aroma: The higher notes are of herbs and mineral, very fresh. The aroma is of crushed dark berries with a hint of wood. I get a touch of mint on the fringes.
Taste: Very tasty, slightly tangy dark fruit, very smooth, with very soft, fine tannin.
Overall: I definitely opened this wine in its infancy, so it wasn't nearly all it could be. The complexity of the nose, though, was impressive. It was like catching a breeze through the herb garden. Very nice.
