Community Tasting Note

• Geo_Geo Likes this wine: 93 points

  December 31, 2023 - It's a biggun, that's for sure. Decanted about three hours ahead of time, but tried early and often. Purple color, big nose of chocolate and black olive, some aged mea. No coffee aroma or elegance that I'd associated with Cote Rotie previously. I don't have a lot of experience with the region though. Tbh, tastes more Cornas-like than anything else.
  
  Sharp tannins, as you'd expect, and even after several hours, much better with food. Finally started showing some more aromas after about 6 hours.
  
  Obviously a baby, I'd wait until 2028 or so if I had anymore. It wasn't cheap---vaguely remember around $100/750mL---and I don't believe I'd buy anymore without the ability to cellar.
