  The vegetarian at the table wouldn't even drink this as she said it tasted like blood. She's correct in the very best way as this shows plenty of feral animale scents and flavors, black olives, peppercorn, saucisson, with very little fruit able to penetrate all the savory power. Feels like the early part of a good window here.

  Tasted over 2 hrs
  -med ruddy red mild bricking
  -glorious funk smoked meat sweet savory black olive
  -med acidity gives excellent grip, med weight and concentration with some faded berry fruit savory charcuterie and faint black pepper saline, med- tannins
  -wonderfully savory complex and classically Côte-Rôtie, drinking beautifully now on what appears to be a long prime plateau

  drinking pretty well with peppery, gamey, notes, light amounts of blue/black fruit. For me the biggest component of this bottle was the acidity that really jumped out and in my opinion this made the wine better with food than alone. Enjoyed with some lamb kebab, a match made in heaven.

  Black olives, blackberry jam, and black pepper aromas very dominant. Maybe some leather too. Very supple palate, with a ton of juicy fruit. Tastes rather herbal, almost cherry menthol like on the finish. Drinking beautifully now. Exceptionally well balanced.

  Oh, so good! Aromatic nose that jumps from the glass. On the palate, olives, lavender, and smoky berries, and good acidity. Fine texture with good length and a long finish. Classic Cote-Rotie.
