Decanted for an hour, but should have started earlier. This is a big, powerful wine. Still a bit tight when I drank it. The flavors were nice but seemed muted, especially on the nose. I suspect it would have shown better if I had opened it for closer to 4 hours early. Surprising to me for a 2010.

The nose has blueberries and savory notes. Palate is moderately concentrated with dark fruits and an earthy, savory, smokey backbone. The finish is medium. All in all, quite enjoyable at this stage.

Rouge violet assez foncé. Petits fruits au nez, un peu d'épices mais pas trop de poivre noir. Un peu de vanille aussi. Corps moyen+, bonne acidité, un peu de vanille on dirait mais rien qui dépasse, long en bouche, quel équilibre. Un vrai délice, du syrah à son meilleur. À carafer plusieurs heures en ce moment et peut attendre très longtemps en cellier.

Decanted for 2 hours, surprisingly powerful in a positive way, very subtile and complex. One of the best Cote Rôtie I drank in a while.
