(Eric Tex ier Cote Rotie Vieilles Vignes) Nose of Indian spices, bacon fat, blueberry, leather, subtle oak tones, sandalwood. Great nose. Jumps out at ya. Structured palate with fantastic purity and sweet fruit. Ripe tannins just extend on the long, layered finish. Very well made wine. I would say a 10 year wine but it is very flattering today.
