Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 26, 2005 - Wow! I have limited experience with Cote-Rotie, so it's quite easy for me to say that this is one of the best ones I've ever had. Not quite as open as when I first tasted this wine on release, but still incredibly deep, full and complex. Aromas of smoke, animal fur, bacon - just about everything you'd expect. Loads of liqueur-like red and black raspberry fruit on the palate, along with chocolate, and an assortment of fresh herbs. Incredibly lush and seemless. The finish didn't quite live up to what preceded it, but I think it will with time. Amazing now, but this has tremendous room for improvement. Hopefully I'll be able to keep my hands off it long enough for it to mature.
