Community Tasting Note

• MrOctoberfest Likes this wine: 95 points

  June 10, 2020 - Alas, this was my last bottle. I don’t think they make this wine anymore because they couldn’t give it away in the beginning, and it was a financial disaster ever since. Truly a shame because this wine is majestic. Tonight, this wine is as flamboyant as Cote Rotie at it’s best. It doesn’t have the power of great Hermitage, but what it lacks in force, it more than makes up with dexterity. Mushroom and earth combine with band-aids and bacon. Fragrant and beautiful.
