Community Tasting Note

  • OmiyaDrinker Does not like this wine: 84 points

    June 4, 2017 - Yet Another Wine Group: Cote Rotie & Cornas: Masses of sweet vanilla on the nose. Christmas cake aromas with caramel, white pepper. Many new oak characteristics on the palate also. The Cornas characteristic is there but masked by the makeup of the oak. This seemed completely out of place in this lineup and while the quality is evident I don't like this at all. I felt annoyed drinking this.

    Thanks.
    All these reviewers must love the modern oaky wines to give such great reviews. This wine was just UG for me. Gotta sell all my bottles at auction. Bought 8 a few years ago.
