This is not your grandmothers cotes du Rhone. Holy cow. Bacon fat on this 2019. Brilliant. Expensive. But brilliant.

2019 vintage. High, airy/perfumed nose of dill and white sage with a dollop of tar and charcuterie board. Medium-heavy body. Delicious riptide of bramble fruit and leather flavors that carry on and a balsamic/Fernet Branca note along with a lavender finish. Big-*ss tannins for a Côtes-du Rhône. Black olive lording over the proceedings Sauron-style from the moment the cork was pulled. White pepper wants to emerge on the tip of the tongue but not just yet. Soon…soon. Silly to find myself giving a "simple" Côtes-du Rhône a 9.3 but found it compelling enuff to seriously consider a 9.4. Didn't think it possible.
