  September 22, 2021 - 4thWednesdays - Sept 2021: Tasted Blind
  
  A: Pale ruby
  N: Pronounced nose of cherry, strawberry BURIED under smoke, charred wood, black and white pepper, nutmeg/cinammon ,medicinal
  P: Dry, medium (+) acidy, medium (+) fine grained tannin, medium (13%) but looking at the glass it is quite viscous, pronounced intensity and medium (+) finish
  Suitable for Ageing: yes
  BLIC balance acid to tannin, good length an intensity . Very good quality
  
  Guess:
  Rotundone grape that is pale? Grenache.
  
  Mistakes:
  That smoke was not indicative of Grenache. I put too much value on the intensity of the color. I should have gone to Syrah and with the medicinal barnyard element, I would have located it in the old world and the northern rhone.Cote Rotie is quite far north in the Rhone and so may account for the color intensity, Look forward to trying more of these.
  Cote Roti - 100% Syrah 13% abv. No Viognier in this so the palor and florals are from Syrah

  June 23, 2020 - A bit green on the palate - herbaceous for sure. AGNORGER's review is solid, but I just didn't love the wine. I'm hoping it softens and develops a bit with time. I'll open a 2nd bottle in 3 years or so. I'll also drink the 2nd half of the bottle tomorrow and will update if it has changed on day 2.

  March 17, 2020 - An elegant wine. Fine grained tannin. Well balanced and not heavy. A wild herbaceous aroma. Blackberry is primary on the palate. Deep dark Has time on its side. Drink over next ten years???
