Tuesday, November 11, 2008 - Wine dinner at Cafe Cortadito (NYC): Dark red colour bricking a little at the rim - still looks incredibly youthful. This comes across like an outstanding older Northern Rhone with dominant leather and gamey notes giving it a sauvage character, and complex flavours of cedar, smoked meat, spicy red fruits and tar underneath. Subtle, layered and still seems to have the stuffing to last a while longer with grainy tannins and vibrant fruit on the back end.
