Mar 18th, 2013Pop and pour. This is starting to hit maturity. Absolutlely transporting nose of soft bacon fat, charcoal, herbs, black raspberry, soft florals....just textbook Cote-Rotie, but some stylish vanilla and spice thrown in for good measure. On the palate: fantastic acidity, red raspberry coulis, bacon, strawberry cream. Elegant finish with soft, velvety tannin.
