Written Notes

Very delicate for Côte-Rôtie, almost too delicate, reminding of a Burgundy wine. Polished wine that lacks bit of spicy edge that I always expect from good Côte-Rôtie.However, very well made but little souless. Maybe the ageing will bring out the wilder side of this wine. Decant at least 12 hours. Two-Michelin star chef Hans Välimäki would serve this Pan-fried Pigeon with caramellised nuts and creamy Jerusalem artichoke pure.
