Tonight's wine: Saint Cosme 2000 Cote-Rotie. This is an interesting wine which according to its label is made solely from the Cote-Rotie species of syrah known as petit sreine, an ancient small-berried vine.
I found it to be a thorough, well made wine. By thorough, I mean that from the time it hits the palate to the time the last drop trickles down your gullet, the flavors are all there and still releasing. A very nice and classic rhone - spicey, not too huge but very complete.
