acidic finish

penetrating red and dark berry

Here too the medium weight flavors possess good richness and power along with an appealing sense of tension that suffuses the more persistent if more rustic finale

Saint Cosme, Cote Rotie other_regions_australia lively structureBright ruby red. Complex aromas of roasted raspberry and black cherry, brown spices, meat and woodsmoke. Supple, spicy and rather easygoing, with the woodsmoke character carrying through in the mouth. Finishes with mellow, fine tannins and very good length. This is more pliant from bottle than it was from barrel a year ago, but doesn't quite have enough personality to merit a 90 point rating. Stephen Tanzer
