TN: Cosme CdR during a mini-blizzard
Betsy made a lamb "tajine" (it wasn't really a tajine, more a stew, but that's
what Silver Palate Good Times called it) for a snowy day. After the first couple of rounds of shoveling, I came in for dinner. I had opened the 2000 St. Cosme Côtes du Rhône. Nice dark berry Syrah fruit, some smoke and pepper. The tannins which were a tad rough on release have abated, delicious forward medium-bodied wine. A little time lets the fruit deepen into a more kirschlike note, with note of olives and a touch of earth. B+, A- for value. Time to shovel some more. Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.** Dale Dale Williams Drop "damnspam" to reply |
