1995 Gilles Barge Cote Rotie Cuvée du Plessy
Interesting wine. Dark dark gritty flavors and feelings that don’t scream classic Cote Rotie at all, to me at least. But, with air the roasted meaty pork begins to migrate away from Cornas and show some elegant floral bacon, always dark and savory, but the texture becomes more delicate and fine. In the end it is a fun drop of drink, a bit too roasted in the flavors for me to really get behind it, but, I survived.

Rahsaan,
I tasted this wine in January and I couldn't get past the sourness. I found it to be quite overwhelming. Unfortunately I didn't have the foresight to set it aside for a day and come back to it.
I always have quite large minimum airing times for wines like this, opening them well before intended drinking time.

Why would you think that?

In fact, I think it's a good thing to adjust one's two ten-cent coins frequently ...

Just looked at my lone bottle of homemade Norton wine that was given to me as a gift and realized that it was red.
Mind if I ask something about the fine person who made this Norton?
