Significantly more closed and muscular than it appeared from barrel, the 2015 Côte Rôtie is a long-term proposition. It's not showing a lot of charm or elegance at this juncture, but it's massively rich and ripe, with plenty of weight on the palate, chewy tannins and a long, long finish. Like I wrote last year, it might start to drink well at age 10, although it might need even longer. Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate
