Good dark red. Dusty but perfumed aromatics of classic Cote-Rotie- dark berries, iron filings, lifted herbs and game. Wine is still taught and very structured-- a brief window of fruit gives way to a serious layer of rich tannin. I think this is going to open up nicely with some time but I am not convinced it will ever match the structure. Overall, aromatically quite pretty, but still closed down.

Beautifully, almost explosively, perfumed nose of flowers, red fruits, and sassafras. Lifted and bright in the palate, and though not enormous in terms of core density. Lovely juice and great qpr.

I bought with the full knowledge that I was taking a risk regarding the wine's provenance and the wine certainly has not affected my appreciation for your wines. Under any circumstances, coincidentally, I just received my first allocation from Bedrock today and ordered 18 bottles. Thanks again, and cheers!

Smoke Taint. Not the most overt but definitely there in the nose and finish.
