Cote Rotie 'La Comtesse en Cote Blonde' 2005 Red Wine Tasting Notes:
90 point wine. A superb wine from Pichon is his 2005 Cote Rotie La Comtesse En Cote Blonde. This is a classic Blonde, very pretty, and built on finesse and elegance, with sweet black cherry and raspberry notes intermixed with a bit of smoke, roasted herbs, and tapenade. Beautiful purity, a dark ruby color, and a velvety texture make for a wine to drink now as well as over the next decade. Impressive! Wine Advocate # 175 - Feb 2008 Robert Parker
