Cote Rotie 1985

Côte-Rôtie from the 1985 vintage is widely regarded as a beautifully mature expression of Northern Rhône Syrah, showing a harmonious blend of smoky, savory depth and fading but still vibrant fruit. With age, the wine typically reveals aromas of bacon fat, pepper, violets, and dark berries, layered with earthy notes of leather, forest floor, and dried herbs. On the palate it tends to be silky and refined, with softened tannins, lively acidity, and a graceful balance that reflects both the warmth of the vintage and the elegance of the steep Côte Blonde and Côte Brune slopes. Now fully evolved, a well-kept bottle offers a long, nuanced finish where savory, floral, and gently spiced elements linger in a way that captures the classic character of mature Côte-Rôtie.
