La Bâtie Terres de Viennae Red Rhone Blend 2017

Really a beautiful and captivating Syrah apparently from right across from Cote-Rotie. Decanted 5+ hours and I recommend that at this stage. So much dark fruit - cherry, some plum - just delicious. Wonderful mouthfeel and a nice long finish with excellent acid. Has a certain seamlessness to it that makes it easy to keep drinking. Great with skirt steaks on the grill. — 4 years ago

Vielles Vignes Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2005

Good example of a Cote- Rotie a bit to the international style with a good bit of newer oak. The wine is unfiltered, which gives a good sense of earth to the wine. Well made, good earth, bramble and some mushroom on the palate. Served with roasted chicken, polenta and sautéed spinach. — 7 years ago

Day 2 notes. Gorgeous nose. Flowers, meat, gravy, mineral, and so so elegant. Smells like velvet. Yes velvet. Soil tones. So aromatic. Dizzying. Palate is ripe and rich but so elegant and complex. Really floats. Velvety melty tannins and brilliant acidity. Very pure. Amazing texture and so young but really something. — 6 years ago

Les Corendies Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah 2014

Another wine from Fass that I swore was Sonoma coast in a blind. Need a trip to the Rhone, what a beautifully structured Syrah. — 8 years ago

LA VIALLIÈRE CÔTE ROTIE Syrah Viognier 2019

9.6

The debut vintage and a stunning debut. Bob Feller like. Incredible spice. Next level. Some wood but buttressed by amazing florals. Violets and roses galore. Wow. Granite and olive. 9.8 nose. Just blown away. Palate is so concentrated yet so silky. Sweet, rich and fresh with exquisite tannins. Dark berry fruit of the tiny kind. High high quality fruit here and absolutely a barn burner of a finish. This is very very good wine. — 2 years ago

La Brocarde Vielles Vignes Côte-Rôtie Syrah

My third and final bottle. Served in Syrah glasses. Nose has mellowed the new oak after 15 years, but still present. Drank over the course of three hours, and finished with an alpine tartiflette. Nice medium body, good fruit and some bacon drippings on the palate. Very little sediment for an unfiltered wine. — 5 years ago
