The palate reminded me of a liqueur kind of medicinal and manufactured. — 25 days ago

It doesn’t get much better than this. A beautiful Rhone white blend. Aged better than expected. — 3 years ago

This wine screams green olive! It was earthy and briney and had nice balance and acid. — 5 years ago

This is quite youthful and seems on the natty side, but not too much so. Also seems like it was deliberately picked on the not-quite-ripe side. The nose is super-bright, with crunchy little purple mountain berries and pink peppercorns. A bit of cured beef too. In the mouth, the acids are through the roof, overriding some nice, crisp, dark berry flavors. There is a bare hint of barnyard funk too. Very nice length. Overall it’s got a lot of character but seems a little disjointed. Picking a tad riper may have made a better wine, but it wouldn’t have made a “statement,” which I think was what was primarily behind this wine. — 2 months ago

Cote-Rotie comes to The Yorkville Highlands!
N: I opened and let air for 2,hrs while I went about a lamb pulao.
The nose is a bit reticent, only hinting at its black/red core. As it airs out, lots of black plums, pepper, and some treacle.
P: yea that delivers the tarry black/red wonderful tactileness*, coats your palate deliciously like you may think there’s a bottom. Fresh beam of acidity keeps things fresh. Best bottle so far. Coal tar.
Thanks @FirstBottleWines
Day 2: More open knit, some cocoa, red moves into black. Acidity still persistent. — 2 years ago

Should have let this age. Wine Enthusiast recommended opening in 2026, found the article after I’d already opened the bottle. I let it breathe for over an hour but still just intense booze and smoke aromas. — 6 months ago

Excellent immediately. Raspberries, cassis, light cherry, cigar box, black pepper, slight anise, and just a little vanilla. Heavily tannic and would go well with heavier meat. Medium-minus acidity. Didn’t evolve much in the decanter. — 3 years ago
