Quiet Lion Likes this wine: 95 points
February 22, 2021 - Virtual Men's Wine night (Zoom): From carafes poured two hours earlier. Dense, elegant, and balanced on the palate with cassis, strong tannins, and some smoke on the finish. I think this would have benefited from more air or cellar time. My #2 of 5 and the group's #1.

When the craziness is over, if they're still around, I'll have to seek it out. As a wild guess, did you bring the Cote Rotie to this august gathering?
