2022 vintage. First time with this producer. Medium body with a precarious balance of acidity and fruit...but it works. Nice enough to stoke the ole curiosity and look for other efforts in the marketplace. 10.2.26. — 12 days ago

The aromatics on this are powerful and complex. Florals, dark berries and savory components. This is generous and rewarding in youth. A beautiful example of savory/briny character accented by rich red fruit. Structured and textured. This shows great complexity, but also inviting freshness. Absolutely great.

Wow!

Nose: intense apricot.
Palate : apricot. Spice. Mineral. So precise. Amazing. Delicious. A perfection.

A hint of oxidation but not obnoxiously so.

This was a good Cote-Rôtie for its price point. Meaty and smoky, with a nice nose. Decanted maybe 20 minutes before serving. Served with a reverse-seared whole picanha, accompanied with roasted tomatoes and seasoned Greek yogurt, tomato cucumber and red onion salad, and wild rice medley. Good for a night at home with guests. — 8 months ago
