  • 2010 Saint Cosme Côte-Rôtie 92 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie

    Funny story, there were two at the blind tasting. One (mine) was open for 4 hours and the second one was open for 10. The nose was a lot more vibrant on the first one with raw meat, pepper and smoke. The taste was a little harsh needed more time to breathe. The second had a nose of damp newspaper and caramel, and a lot smoother in taste. 90-93
