Stephan Les Binardes

Drinking at home.

2018 Maison Stephan Côte-Rôtie Les Binardes - lovely nose of leather, fragrant wood, and very ripe fruit. Love the after palate with that bacon fat. The alcohol was still sharp on the nose, and the wine was hot going down the back of the throat. The wine also showed plenty of floral notes like lavender, and I enjoyed how ripe and sweet this was. But in reality the wine was just too young and still rough around the edges.
