Had this in a blind tasting and vacillated between cote rotie and Cornas. A real surprise.

Mar 6th, 2015Rich layers of chocolate jump out first, followed by sun drenched and stewed black and red fruit. There's also some saw dust and dried herbs. The palette is surprisingly fresh, both tart and acidic at first, winding down into slightly bitter chocolate, raisins, prunes, beets and burnt firewood. A hint of smoked meat also can't be denied - this one really comes at you from a bunch of different angles.
