Côte Rôtie, Northern Rhône

Château d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2016

Holy balls! I need more nostrils to smell this. Brooding with game, bramble, and coffee grounds. Palate is slick but well concentrated with weight and tannin that linger spectacularly. Not cheap. — a day ago

La Turque Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2013

Tasting the 2013 La Las this was the weakest of the three. A good wine but not great and lacking in wow factor. Probably too young but more bla bla than la la at the moment. — a month ago

"La Mordorée" Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2016

Very approachable and seamless. Dark fruits, iron, terracotta, citrus. Chapoutier always delivers serious wines. — 2 months ago

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 1999

Explosive nose of black cherry, smoke, bacon fat, savory spices, dried herbs & violets. Great vintage for Jamet that is reaching full maturity — 4 days ago

La Mouline Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2013

The best of the three Guigal wines at the moment. Juniper and bay leaf dominated the palate in this wine that seemed more integrated and developed than the other two. Went well with venison. — a month ago

La Landonne Côte-Rotie Syrah

This needs time. Has the highest potential from the three and is already smooth and rounded. Taste wise there are some bordeauxy flavours...just needs another 5-10 years — a month ago
