A good but not great Cote Rotie, shoring less depth, character and complexity than earlier vintages that included fruit from La Turque

Crazy delicious savory meat. Great acid too, more proof that 85 is the vintage to beat in the 80s

Big juicy dark blue fruit when first open. The n became more complex as fruit muted and spices came out. Finish a touch short but just delicious. A wine at full maturity.

Took about an hour in the decanter to really show but was spot on. Charcuterie board in a glass

Really pretty. Well aged. A subtle sweetness. That classic gamey character. Drink now.
