@Lyle Fass HFS. This is a ridiculously good bottle of wine..beyond good..my wife called this poetic. This is a crazy Cote-Rotie, and doesn't fit my idea of what Cote-Rotie should be. Frankly, the comparison I would draw is Cayuse Cailloux or some other Rocks district Syrah...except done correctly: fantastic acidity, not reductive/bretty bordering on flawed, and 12.5% abv. Wow.
We savored this as long as we could, but from pop and pour, this btl lasted all of 2 hrs...

Bloody meat, a little smoke and pepper, brambly fruit and a little leather, nice acidity, a great classic Côte Rotie that is probably at or close to peak, but in no danger of fading any time soon.

Boom! After you smell a nose like this you start to drool anticipating what it will taste like. Loads of violets, cassis and earth. Olfactory overload. In the mouth it is a perfect example of an iron fist in a velvet glove.
