Dark black/purple color. This needed a few hours of air to be interesting. On nose, blueberry, pepper, iron, black cherry and mesquite. Palate was full body, medium+ acidity/tannins and long finish. Shut down on pope & pour but 93+ wine with 3+ hours of air.
Decant for a few hours if drinking now. 91-93 range.

After having enjoyed the 20 vintage of this eloquent Côte-Rôtie in March earlier this year, I popped the 19 (14% ABV) w great expectations. I was not let down. Surely, the style may not be my preferred but I find this wine super-fascinating - an odd bird if you like. The 19 Saint-Cosme CR is dark ruby/red, semi-translucent in the glass. Nose offers exciting toasted notes - chocolate, coffee along w cassis & blueberries, fine white pepper & barrel spice. M-bodied, luscious, fruit-driven palate, spicy, chalky close! Ready to go today.

Sweet fruit, some heat from alcohol, cassis, soft tannins, medium plus mouthfeel. Maybe serve slightly chilled?

Color - burgundy tending brown
Nose - meats, dark fruit, leather
Body - tannic and iron with mineral
On a retaste an hour later - it has mellowed quite a bit, a lot of tannin, could age well.
