THis was a wonderful wine
8% Touriga Nacional and the rest Petite Sirah
I am very pleasantly surprised by the wine's freshness and overall energy
The palate has impressive depth and weight with a succulent
but little in the way of typical Napa Valley fruit
Levet, Cote Rotie, La Chavaroche 2010 STORAGE THis was a wonderful wine96 Points CellarTracker Deep dark cherry red, slightly beginning browning color. Beef stock, smoked lard, red berries. Beautiful developed aromas wafting from the glass, nuanced, developing time wise. On the palate an elegant Cte Rtie unfolding with time, blueberries, suitably framed tannins, the palate mirroring the aromas coming from the glass. After some hours acidity comes a bit more to the fore. 3 2 2024 94 points Int'l Wine Cellar Inky ruby.
