Tasted blind. Tawny color, dark and opaque. Notes of mocha, slate stone, smoked meats, blueberries. Seems like a La La - maybe La Turque? Dry and tight in the mouth, but turned more silky as it gained air in the glass. Evolved and showed different characteristics. Added some tobacco leaf, some herbal thing, some menthol. While the nose says Cote-Rotie, the mouth says it's probably not. Lucious and silky, what a treat. Bottle reportedly was VTS fill. This is in no way past it’s prime yet.
