  Caller of dark purple red. Scents of blueberries, and a little bit of bramble. Tastes consistent with scents.

  Young, needs a lot of air - 2+ hours decant, and in fact, the part that wasn't decanted improves in the next two days. Solid with a classic profile.
  18 months in 30% new barriques
  I should have paid more attention to this detail before opening the bottle.
  Drink 2026-2040

  Wine Advocate Kings of Rhone Online Masterclass: Unfortunately this one also exhibited signs of oxidation although still drinkable. Earthy and spicy with funky mushroom notes. Good acidity in the background. Very fine tannins.

  Kings of Rhone Masterclass (Casa Esperanza): Pretty good. It was a little tough coming after a really stunning bottle of 2016 Guigal La Mouline, but this was a solid Cote Rotie in its own right. The nose here was pleasant, but rather less generous than the Guigal, with classic notes of blueberries along with a nice savoury touch of earth and meat, and just that tiny hint of wild herb. The palate was very youthful, perhaps too much so, with a very structural feel lent to it by firm, muscular tannins and tightly-wound acidity wrapped around a supple core of blueberries and dark cherries, maybe a touch of savoury olives, these laced with a little bit of peppery spice and bittersweet herb stretching into a nicely lengthy finish. With time, some lovely baking spices came out as well. Quite yummy, and I really did like the texture and freshness on this - I think it has all the bones to age nicely over the next decade or so.
