A well crafted classic Côte Rôtie. Good sample of Côte Brune character. Just a bit broody, but with enough fruit and balance to be really enjoyable right now. The balance is such that it's hard to pick out any one feature over the others! I wasn't the only one to feel that way :)

Shy nose of bruised fruit, white pepper, aged beef, and serrano pepper. Great intensity and focus of sweet fruit on the palate, good follow through on the back with a clear acid frame and a long acid finish. Excellent with mushroom and tomato polenta. 50 + 17 + 17 + 8 = 92.

Nose of olives, smoke and bacon fat. Olive tapenade, mixed dried herbs and game on the palette . I’m not sure how long this one can carry from here.
