Bought this at Chambers St Wines on a whim because it’s a birth year wine, but then I remembered that pretty much all the 1980 vintage was weak globally. Wow, pop and pour and this beast is alive and kicking! Classic bacon fat and massive strawberry aromas with hints of violet, coffee, and olive tapenade. This thing has resolved tannins, and I cannot believe the acidity still active in this 38 year old. What a treat to experience perfectly mature Cote-Rotie.
