What a Perrin

[bottle]Perrin 2004 Côtes-du-Rhône “Réserve” (Rhône) – A stew of vague gestures in the direction of meat, herb, and sun-reddened fruit, which is all fine, but there’s a lot of acidity. A lot.

    I came across a bottle of the ’94 perrin cote du rhone in my cellar 2 years ago as I was packing for a move. Don’t know if I ever intended to cellar it.

    The shock for me was how good the wine was for a $5 bottle (at the time).

    Nothing big or dramatic, but it was well balanced, and some complexity, and a nice finish.
