Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 12, 2015 - Classic Cote Rotie. Drinking surprisingly well at the moment but will definitely hold my second bottle for a while yet. First night it was all about the olive tapenade. Definitely a traditional approach. No new oak evident at all. Light in alcohol and medium in body but packed with flavor. Drying tannin abounds, we're talkin' Hoover vacuum to the mouth dry, and well balanced acidity. Absolutely fantastic by the end of the night and holding strong on night #2 with bloody meat, smoke, and old worn leather with a wonderful lavender top note. First time having this producer. Good stuff. I can only see this becoming downright campfire like with more age.
