Soaring savory notes here. All kinds of meat, black olive, dirt, iron and black pepper. Deep and interesting in all sorts of ways. I love this type of wine! I made a rustic dinner of grilled rack of lamb, roasted Brussels sprouts and fingerling potatoes with a squash and curry soup. This fit the bill perfectly.

Lots of smoked meat, black olive, the tertiary flavors are there. Fruit is in the background and fading. Still plenty of acidity. Drink up

Super drinkable cote rotie. Much more subtle than you'd think.
