A bit of brett on the nose right out of the bottle. Sweeter scents of violets, cherry and blackberry arise after an hour or so of decanting. Elegant on the palate with lots of white pepper, soft fruit, oak, and smoked meat. Delicate tannins and a silky mouth feel. The finish is long and sophisticated with lingering notes of leather and a hint of mocha.

Wonderful fruit. BlackBerry, blueberry notes, subtle hints of smoked meat and mocha. Silky tannins strong enough to handle a fatty ribeye. Great balance. A terrific expression of Cote Rotie.
