Monday, June 10, 2013 - This Cote Rotie is balanced, seamless now, with almost fully resolved tannins. The fruit, while not overly extracted, is still ripe and enjoyable. Syrah bloomed in the glass, highlighting aromas of smoky leather and ripe sweet/sour red fruits. This wine did not exhibit any of the traits that sometimes accompany under-ripe syrah, such as an excess acidity or unbalanced alcohol. Drinking well now and should continue to improve. Another '04 Rotie that's bucking the conventional wine chart wisdom.
