- 2004 Saint-Cosme Côtes du Rhône Blanc - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Côtes du Rhône (7/14/2006)
Very pale golden yellow in color; the nose is a light mix of citrus and tropical fruits with green herbs and a hint of vasoline. Medium bodied on the slightly oily palate, with again a melange of citrus and (mainly) tropical fruits (no one fruit stands out) and a hit of alcohol at the end, although this dissapated a bit on the second day. The bottle claims 13.5%, but I suspect that's a conservative estimate. But certainly not OTT, a tad heavy as many Rhone whites can be, but certainly good quality for a Cotes du Rhone blanc. Drink over the next 2 years, I would think. (B+)
