Community Tasting Note

  October 14, 2019 - Love the aromatics here - really bright and pretty red fruit at the foreground with some darker berried and plummy flavours emerging with more air, and more savoury earthy and bacony notes in the background. There's some oak spice apparent too, but the oak isn't overwhelming and while it's a slightly more modern expression of Cote-Rotie, it still comes across nicely balanced and not overdone. There's some astringency on the finish that others attributed to wood tannins, but I wonder if the palate here is just fading a bit after 18 years...
