I thought this was rather subdued and if I'm honest a little disappointing. Improved over a couple of days but never hit the high spots of the lovely 85. Perhaps not the perfect bottle.

Weekly tasting group RWP #273: 4 flights of 3 wines with a link (@ BS): Beautiful and refined bouquet with a soft toast. On the palate ripe dark and red berries, some sweetness, soft tannin, some leather, animals, beautiful complexity, good acidity and in fact still some future. Beautiful and mature wine.

Lovely medium aged Cote-Rotie, with great length and persistence of flavour, but not overly rich. Herbal, undergrowth scents on the nose initially, opening up to soft spiciness. Lovely clean acid and good length. At its peak now, and will hopefully remain there for some years.

Acker Pre-Auction Tasting Wines & In-Auction Dinner Wines (Zuma - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Fully mature fruit is flavorful and enjoy to enjoy now, with moderate length and nuance.

Acker Auction - November (JK's birthday) (Zuma in NYC): Good rhone wine. Rocks flavor. A bit meaty. I thought it was nice, but again just overshadowed by other wines on the table.
