Domaine Jean Michel Gerin Cote Rotie Les Grandes Places 2007

Available by the bottle, or six bottles in original wooden cases.

Very enjoyable. Lots of garrigue on the nose, along with red and black fruit. Palate gets better with some menthol and tar, but still lots of fruit and garrigue. Also a bit of well integrated acidity, and tannins that form a good backbone without being intrusive.
