  This Rotie is lovely, no discernible tannins left. Dark fruits on the nose. Dark fruits and spice on the palate. Velvet mouthfeel with medium finish. Acid still present but this is quite soft. Ate with prime rib steak.

  Medium weight colour, light rim.
  Bright perfume, violets and pepper, licorice, deep red berries.
  Black and red berries, licorice spice, hint of cherry stone zest, fine black pepper. Soft presence, tannins melting, acidity keeps it youthful. Great drinking, at its apogee, who knows how long for.

  Acker Rene Rostaing Cote Rotie Retrospective (1978 - 2005) (NY): Same as '96 Landone just before it. Vintage too old now.

  5/8/2019 - Tony Molester Does not like this wine:

  This was corked, so thats the first flaw, but beyond the cork taint it was a lean, acidic wine that no amount of time in the decanter seemed to remedy. Based on this I would avoid it.
  This going in the sink.
  
  Avoid
