Funky and bretty at first but this faded after 10-15 minutes. Marked acidity, but over 1 hour came together to a rounded, smooth, fairly classic Cote rotie, even if not exceptional on any dimension. Better in 3-5 years.

Notes of dried fruit when nosing, very pleasant. The bottle really opened up as we drank it. Taste: Very fruity, smooth taninsctgst make this a very “refreshing” drink with a nice body and pleasant length.
Need to try again if I have a chance.

Last of the case, no disappointment. The plum and red fruits attained a smokiness of bay leaf and lavender. Fresh and aged all at once. Age your Cote Rotie, it rewards.

This has developed admirably and is really singing now with length. Complexity, depth — loving it

Perfect. Feminine, funky, full of Gaillard class. Reminds me why 2009 was regarded as such a good year.
