The 2010 Domaine Louis Cheze Côte-Rôtie Belle Demoiselle is classy with aromas of roasted plums, blackberries, black olive, bacon fat, smoke and earthy mineral notes. This is built around a rock solid core, yet remains silky and refined showing impeccable finesse and balance into the ultra-long finish. Lots of potential here, but there no getting around the fact that this still primal and needs time to flesh out, so reserve a long term spot in your cellar. (Best 2015-2030) - November, 2012 (JD)
