Easily the star of the lineup, the 2010 C?te R?tie Les Grandes Places is like the 2009, only more fresh, pure, delineated and focused. Loaded with notes of crème de cassis and black raspberry fruit that’s intermixed with notions of spring flowers, licorice, chocolate-dusted meats and toasted bread, this beauty flows onto the palate with full-bodied richness, no hard edges and ultra-fine tannin. Drink this awesome C?te R?tie anytime over the coming two decades.
