Two glasses using coravin - drunk when poured. A rich red, turning brown / orange at the rim - mineral, medicinal nose with hint of dark fruit. fine tannins and good acidity in balance warm dark fruits on the front middle palate but a little thin at the end. This is delicate, burgundian and entirely drinkable, enjoyable but not great.

startede med at tro den var gået over og åbnede en ny flaske. lidt for portvinsagtig i duften. Men så skete der ting og sager og den endte med at være aftenens bedste vin. Elegant.

A very elegant wine, and maybe lighter than a typical Rotie. As mentioned previously, almost Burgundian in style, but no hiding from that whiffy barnyard nose. Drunk with a venison pie, but could have done with something even fuller bodied. Nice, not superb.

Oomph powerful yet restrained nose of leather , violets , loads of chicken poop. Wow. Superbly elegant and smooth. Unexpected elegance it's almost burgundish. Beautiful everywhere with everything tt I like. Perfumed in the nose and on the palate. Umami n BBQ pain grille with roasted mushrooms. Excellent treasure in the sand.

A big typical cote rotie with big funky barnyard, minerality, garrigue , sweaty socks and white peppers. Palate tastes softer than it smells with restrained fruit , bitter tea , more spices. Very country and village. A bit of the old fashioned cote rotie rather than parker like modernised one. Powedery tannins. Kinda chicken poopy. A little old fogey like but I think a very true terroir wine.
