  Classic Cote Rotie flavors & aromas. Black fruit, leather/tar, slightly meaty/gamey without being bretty. Starting to open up but still a bit short. After 2 hours started to close down a bit. Not sure which direction this would go but my bias is to wait 5 years.

  4th Saturday group uptown tasting (R&D's): Nonblind with supper following the tasting. Lovely red fruit, pepper and game notes. Medium-bodied and very enjoyable, with pepper and red berry fruit flavors.

  This bottle could not have been more different than the last. We tried this after a Corton Bressandes, and I think it probably should have been drank before: the wood on that wine made this one seem a little lighter in style.
  
  The nose was very pure syrah fruit showing a touch of the floral, but more meaty/olive brine notes. Very soft on the palate with great red raspberry and cranberry fruit. No tannin to speak of on the finish, which was a touch short. Anyway, just didn't show as well as last time.
  
  Day 2: Ok, there was about a half bottle of this left, and it was definitely the order in which this was served that made it suffer...either that or this has just blossomed with another day open. The notes are much more similar to last time now. Beautiful, subtle floral notes, some leather and brine. Raspberry, cranberry and pomegranate on the palate. A touch of tannin on the finish. MUCH better than yesterday.

  Dinner at Joel Robuchon, Monaco (Joel Robuchon, Monaco): I really enjoyed this. From a magnum, it was youthful, lively and quite delicious. The nose was really attractive, with a complex melange of red and black fruit, loamy earth and a generous lift of wild garrigue that brought to mind lavender and rosemary. With time, flowery violets from the 5% Viognier came to the fore. Really nice. The palate had a nice soft feel that reflected the earlier drinking vintage, with fine, velvety tannins and fresh acidity framing delicious flavours of black cherries and plums laced with more of that wild garrigue and just a hint of dried earth and bramble as the wine pulled away into a pleasant finish. This lack the depth and conviction to be a great wine, but it was very nice indeed. One for medium term drinking - it is showing well now and should be just about perfect in 2020 or so. Beautiful with a quail dish by the way, with the meat drawing out flowery violets and a spicy character beautifully on the finish.
