It's been several years since we last had this wine, and it's benefitted from the time sideways. An elegant example of Côte Rôtie, displaying maturity and balance. Lovely texture, subtle but beguiling nose, and a pleasure to drink. Held well over three days under a Vacuvin cork, throwing only a small amount of sediment. Well stored bottles should be in prime drinking window, with years to go.

Dull ruby with an orange meniscus, medium viscosity. Dried red and blue fruits, meat, leather, tobacco aromas coming through. The tannins were resolved and the wine still had plenty of acidity. Dry wine, medium acidity, medium minus tannins, medium body and alcohol. Long finish with more meaty smoky flavors. Very well balanced and complex. Yum!

Third bottle within the year and the best showing. Color seems concentrated and darker. The wine, while still too light for what one expects from Cote Rotie, has a meatier taste and darker fruit. It was a nice pairing with leg of lamb. Excellent.

Pretty, elegant Cote Rotie. Floral on the nose, color starting to fade hazily. Still plenty of life on the palate, lots of fruit and acid to support. Definitely in its drinking window.

Delicious, dark purple opaque fresh, herbaceous black raspberry and cassis, tears medium thick and fast, clean fresh ripe fruits, easy drinking straight out of bottle, not overly complex, medium intensity and clean finish. Probably wonderful with roasted chicken.
