HDH December auction; 12/13/2018-12/15/2018 (Chicago, IL): It's not a super vintage, but there's a lovely coolness about this wine. Really elegant, with some nice red fruit and some tart acids. Pleasant, with a slight animale note.

Lightweight but flavorful. Started out with distinct barnyard nose but that faded a lot as it aired. Flavors were more earth and herb but there was some red fruit as well. A good showing even for a difficult year. I enjoyed it.

Medium red fruit on nose and palate. Spice was somewhat consistent with what I'd expect from Cote-Rotie, just simpler and paler. There was an odd bitterness on the finish that detracted from the wine.

Appropriate earthiness, but thin, harsh, and astringent.
