  Very open and aromatic at the beginning. Black fruit and violet, with a hint of spice, pepper, and a very light smokiness. On the palate, medium (+) acidity, tannins are well integrated. Mostly savory, not a heavy bold wine, but a medium bodied wine showing the delicacy of Cote Rotie. Really liked it paired with lamb chop and asparagus.

  1/6, good cork. Decanted 1 hr.
  Medium/deep ruby, pale ruby rim. Nose shows blackberry, florals, quietly aromatic with a note of bacon and touch of black pepper. Medium bodied, elegant with fine tannins, blackberries, touch of blood, fresh acidity, quite long finish. Excellent, drinking well.

  Full, sanguine ruby. Cool northern rhone fruit, a splash of bacon fat. Silky smooth with impeccable balance. Really lovely and very proper. ****

  The sleeper has awakened! This wine was shut down in a “dumb phase” for some time. A bottle I drank three years ago lacked gusto.
  
  Now, there are great aromas of black currant, flowers, barnyard, and bacon. This has soft tannins, medium high acidity, and a mouth coating finish. Patience is rewarded and I am happy to have a few more in the cellar. Drinking great now and should do so for at least another five years.

  Robe mauve très dense. Sur des arômes de beurre et petit fruit. Bonne fraiseur pour un Côte-Rôtie. Par contre, pour ce prix, manque de structure et de complexité. A décanter 2h.
