May 28, 2019 - "Casual" Weeknight at Viet's: Brought this to the blind tasting.
Oof, this wine is already showing so well. It took a few minutes in the glass to open up, but when it did, it was a showstopper. Unmistakably Cote Rotie with notes of seductive mixed berries, olives, dried herbs, and a bit of funk. The gorgeous inner mouth perfume that Ryan at Golden 8 Wines mentioned was prominent.
I expected this wine to a little too tight and disjointed to sit back and enjoy, but it took me by surprise. What a great wine. Can't wait to see what additional cellaring will bring!1 person found this helpful 2,406 views
