  Popped and poured, enjoyed over 3 days. Best on Day 3. The wine pours a deep purple color with a nearly opaque core; medium+ viscosity, and notable staining of the tears. On the nose, remarkable aromas of black, red and blue fruits, lavender pastilles, black pepper, bacon fat (this shows more with extended air), olive tapenade, and rocky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. The finish is long with a lovely streak of minerals that just carries. This is a lovely Côte-Rôtie that showed its quality at the first pour but really came into its own with extended air. You can drink now with patience and an extended decant otherwise these will likely be singing after 2030 and drink well through 2040.
