2006 Domaine Rollin Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Beaune Rouge
This 2006 Burgundy just hit the shelves and it reflects that in the glass. This wine is all about showing off it's youthful vibrancy. Sweet strawberries mingle with alcohol on the nose. In the mouth this light bodied red is all about the tart zippy fruit, bright red sour cherries over power any earth and spice that there might be. Don't get me wrong this is going t be a fantastic red, it just needs bit more time to grow up.~Mitch
Wild Wild Wild Bourgogne Rouge! 2006 was a year of extremes for growers and winemakers in Burgundy. The winter was extremely cold and the summer was extremely hot. Needless to say it was a challenging vintage in the region, this is when winemakers are tested. I think great producers can make exceptional wines in tough vintages and in my opinion Domaine Rollin is a great producer. I call this a wild burgundy because it literally arrived from France last week , and I think the wine is a little shocked. The color is deep red with very ripe berry aromas on the nose hints of a vegetable and roasted toasty components sneak through as well, a bit rustic. Loads of fruit on the palate, vibrant cherries show off the wine's youth. Fleshy tannins and a good amount of acidity form the framing. I agree with Mitch 100% , with some time this wine will show more elegance and a more feminine side.~Dan
