Cote-Rotie comes to The Yorkville Highlands!
N: I opened and let air for 2,hrs while I went about a lamb pulao.
The nose is a bit reticent, only hinting at its black/red core. As it airs out, lots of black plums, pepper, and some treacle.
P: yea that delivers the tarry black/red wonderful tactileness*, coats your palate deliciously like you may think there’s a bottom. Fresh beam of acidity keeps things fresh. Best bottle so far. Coal tar.
Thanks @FirstBottleWines
Day 2: More open knit, some cocoa, red moves into black. Acidity still persistent.
