2004 Ogier Cote-Rotie

Double decanted, but left in the decanter to aerate for 2 hours.  

This started out with shrill (tart) sour cherry character that never really calmed down. 

Reminded me of a too young Burgundy in an off vintage.  Lacking complexity. I dont think this has the foundation to develop into something better down the road but only time will tell.  Some left over for day 2 so will see what happens. 

Just not a lot of Cote-Rotie character here. A let down after the recent brillant showing from southern Rhone by the 2006 Domaine Vieille Julienne Chateauneuf-du-Pape ...
