Moving to the reds, which were all outstanding, the 2003 Cote Rotie Fortis comes from multiple vineyards and includes a smidge of Viognier. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and fresh, it’s a classic Cote Rotie that gives up sweet and sour cherries, dried herbs, underbrush and hints gamey, bacon-like qualities on both the nose and palate. It’s drinking beautifully and should be consumed over the coming 4-5 years or so, although I’m sure it will evolve for longer.
Winemaker Stephane Montez produced a serious lineup in 2003. All of the wines are beautifully made, have pure fruit and overall fresh, lively characters.
