Rockss and Fruit

    (Yves Gangloff Cote Rotie) This was spectacular albeit a touch closed. This is before Gangloff went to the dark side per se and started spoofing the shit out of his wines. There was one cuvee then and he aged the stuff in old foudre. Now there are two cuvees. Oakier and Oakiest. This had a lovely nose of spice, some cherry and bluberry and earth. The palate had an uncanny freshness about it. It would have refreshed me on a hot day on the beach kind of freshness we are talking here. The palate had great balance and concentration and a long finish. There was fruit but it took some coaxing to come out. Seemed a bit closed in that respect. But even with minimal fruit it was a lovely wine. When the fruit kicks in, in say about 3-5 years, this will be a stunner.
