Nose of black fruit, even some blueberries, a bit of a smokey feel to it, some violets too and traces of dark chocolate. The palate is delicious with good acidity, a nice freshness coupled with subtle and approachable tannins, on a good fairly lenghty finish. A nice forward 2017 at a good price for the appellation and that will age well also no doubt. 91-92 pts

Un nez de fruits noirs et bleuets entre autres, floral avec des violettes et des traces de chocolat noir. Une bouche délicieuse avec une bonne acidité, de la fraîcheur en plus des tannins assez souples et soyeux, finale assez longue et savoureuse. Un beau 2017 approchable maintenant et ii va tenir la route et à un prix acceptable pour l’appellation. 91-92

18.5. First and second bottles of a case, tried several years ago, were hopeless - murky, flat. So gave up but didn’t discard the remaining 10, which resurfaced recently. My son and my ex-wife tried one a week ago and said wonderful. Last night, I confirmed that. No excessive wood, indeedno flaws. Nose best early on, faded a bit. But mouthfeel, fruit and length exceptional. An outstanding CR - definitely superior to Chapoutier la Mordoree 2005 that I had last week, which was fine but not outstanding. — 10 days ago

Very Syrah like in terms of aromatics, flowery with violets, pepper and dark fruit too. Palate follows suit, medium bodied with integrated tannins but delicious pure fruit, fresness and elegance. Length is somewhat average though. 91-92

Nez assez Syrah avec ces notes de fleurs, violettes et poivre, du fruit noir aussi. Bouche sur le même registre, fraîche, élégante avec une belle pureté de fruits. De corps moyen avec des tannins assez intégrés, petite ombre au tableau, une longueur moyenne. 91-92

Encore tres jeune.. bien balancé, fruits qui accompagnent le petit sanguin en arrière bouche. Va bonifier avec un autre 5 ans. — 6 days ago

Well I’m officially fan of Tardieu-Laurent! This Cote Rotie is truly rocking! The nose is incredible! Yes, spicy mouthfeel as expected prolonged with dark chocolate. Finish could be longer but I expect this will be the case after more cellaring. Magnificent! — 15 days ago

Oh man, still so fresh it could go another 20 years. Loving northern Rhône. Smokey, mellowed tannin and red / black fruit. — 8 days ago
