2016 Côte-Rôtie, La Belle Hélène, Domaine Stéphane Ogier Size:75cl 1986 and 1982Nearly as good as the la Cte Blonde, the 2016 Cote Rotie La Belle Helene is plump, round and full in the mouth, yet it lacks some of the former wine's exotic perfume. It still shows lovely purity, with baskets of ripe red berries, a plush, creamy mouthfeel and a long finish. It's a terrific wine that suffers only by comparison. With its terrific concentration and balance, it should drink well for two decades or more. {***}{region} Rhne{region} {color}
