A second bottle following yesterday’s review. A cleaner, richer but still degraded bottle.

Brickish color. Some vegetal stink on the nose which (mostly) blew off with vigorous decanting, leaving a lightly spicy, black tea and minty nose, then an acidic, raisiny palate with some alcohol burn. Seemingly over mature and falling to bits. Time to wind back my cellaring expectations for this cuvée and get into the other older vintages in the cellar!

A bouquet to enjoy, full of interest. Aromas of dusty ground, spice and anise, dried red fruits and flowers, white pepper. Palate gentle but lively. Cote Rotie like with its suppleness and the sweet echo of its fruit.

Earlier last year, I was fortunate to taste a bottle of this wine from the 1964 vintage over a period of about 3+ hours. If you have any more of this wine...you may want to wait another 25+ years before cracking your next bottle. Respectfully, Kirk R. Grant
