Levet, Cote Rotie, La Chavaroche 2010 STORAGE who had partnered with Manfred96 Points CellarTracker Deep dark cherry red, slightly beginning browning color. Beef stock, smoked lard, red berries. Beautiful developed aromas wafting from the glass, nuanced, developing time wise. On the palate an elegant Cte Rtie unfolding with time, blueberries, suitably framed tannins, the palate mirroring the aromas coming from the glass. After some hours acidity comes a bit more to the fore. 3 2 2024 94 points Int'l Wine Cellar Inky ruby.
