Sick, sick floral. Sick nose. Spice, mid season cherry, game, palate is sweet and silky, sick balance, pure, deep, complex. So so sick. Stephan is a genius.

This is really fragrant and perfumed, but wild as hell. There’s not a fruit in here that isn’t wild: wild strawberries and raspberries, and maybe even watermelon at first. But meaty and wild. Savory rich florals: curry plant and violet and rose. Really soulful and organically balanced. Unique as all hell, has a human feel. I’ve never had a cote rotie like this one. Really drinkable tannins. Excellent.
