  Nice wine. I was crossing my fingers in hopes it would be a surprise. Initially the aromatics had a bourbon barrel/chocolate smell. Thankfully that passed and the aromas became brighter fruit and earth based. On the palate I got currants and pomegranates. Super high acid. The finish is a bit sour. Nice now but not sure it will improve.

  Lovely balanced herbal earthy syrah, not overly big and bold, rather silky and a GREAT food wine

  Importer tasting: This will be one tasting note for the 2004, 2007, 2009 and 2012. The grapes for this wine are not destemmed and the wine ages for 12 months in 40% new oak and 60% in one year old barrels. In the bouquet all vintages are more or less the same and show red and dark berries, minerals, blood, bacon, pepper and are rustic. Especially the 2007 and 2009 also have some sweet impressions in the nose and of course the 2004 shows some development. On the palate the wines have the same impressions as in the bouquet as well as some iron. In the 2012 the minerals are quite up front and the wine is more tight than the 2009 and also lighter. It has good acidity and sticky tannin. The 2009 has a pleasant touch of sweetness which is beautifully balanced by good acidity, also a lot of minerals and more smooth tannin than the 2012. The 2007 has mainly dark fruits, also minerals and iron as well as some licorice. A touch of sweetness, firm acidity and good tannin. The 2004 is mature now and also shows some herbs, a nice balance between acidity and sweetness and soft tannin.
  Concluding:
  2012: Elegant wine, still too young. Wait until 2018 and drink until 2024+? 91
  2009: Beautiful and tasty wine. Early maturity now, but can last another decade. 92
  2007: Beautifully structured wine, showing what it has. Ready now and approx. until 2020. 91
  2004: A fairly light and elegant style, completely ready now and the next few years. 90

  Opened by Bill. Did not think this was typical for a Cote Rotie. it had some interesting leather notes with woody herbs but the fruit tasted baked which lowered my score. 89 points.
