  Cote Rotie in a Burgundian way…. Lots of finesse, long finish. Lots of good notes on this - I agree with most- a little smoke, dark berries with great balance. Powerful in a lighter way…. L

  Colour: dark purple, almost black; slightly cloudy (the wine was not filtered).
  
  Nose: great scent of dark berries, mainly blackberry; quite a lot of pepper; fine leather notes with a little smoke; mint at the end; you always want to just smell it; on the second day the scent is a little more restrained.
  
  Palate: Very dense and mouth-filling; tightly woven fine-grained, ripe tannins dominate the scene (for me typical for the 2015 vintage on the northern Rhone), yet very silky; then again a cornucopia of dark berries; on the second day, I also tasted the fine cherry note, which had otherwise always been quite noticeable in earlier vintages of the wine; I noticed a hint of bitter chocolate on the palate; medium, ripe acidity; long, harmonious finish with an interplay of tannins, cherry and acidity; the alcohol is moderate (13%) despite the warm year.
  
  Despite its slightly rustic character, this is a very nice Côte-Rôtie at the beginning of its drinking maturity. It will keep for many years to come.

  Still young. Needs to rest more. Strong red fruit, very firm. Nose was tepid.

  Pop and pour yesterday, at which point it was absolutely stunning. Notes from 24 hrs open. On the nose: soft cola, olive brine, wet stone, a touch of game, cool sandalwood. Absolutely spectacular aromatics. On the palate: fantastic acidity, tomato leaf, olive, black raspberry, lovely density with very finely grained tannin on the juicy finish. This is spectacular.

  Nose is dark and minerally. Smoky. Meaty and savory. Very good. The Gerard was a bit more perfumed and exciting but this was better balanced
