La Bâtie Terres de Viennae Red Rhone Blend

Very pure, deep, power.
Served with Ny Italian comfort food (egg plant parm). Delish.

Lovely velvet fruit, minerals at fore. Marvelously soft, given time. Perfect with ribeye tomahawk (kosher salt, smidge garlic, iron skillet -- manly).

Nose is floral. Mineral driven. Acid balance. Very elegant. Really like this. Pretty floral internal aromatics.

I love this wine. Like a Cote-Rotie except from across the river. Meaty, rich and gamey. Also very floral. Kiss of dark berries. Great freshness and richness with good chewy dense fruit and perfectly integrated oak. So dense and juicy wiry lovely clarity and vivid black fruits. Needs 30 minutes to sing.

Super fragrant. Concentrated and compact. So soft and pure. Excellent. Big wine that screams for a steak.
