Coteaux du Languedoc Montpeyroux Côte Rousse Syrah Blend 1995

Tasted alongside the Cote Doree, this is also nearly 100% Syrah, this cuvée seems a tad cleaner aromatically, without the gamey/brett notes, but show lovely dried redfruits, a smoky note underneath, as well as what I perceive as roasted onion skin, this seems clearly mature and at peak now, long, lingering finish, also 12.5% ABV, lovely!! — 6 months ago

Less evolved than the Cote Rousse, more fruit-driven (again, redfruits mostly), less leathery, gamy, great balance, definitely shows little to no Brett, long finish, really outstanding!! — 3 years ago

@Doug Powers One of the wines that stirred my interest at the start of my wine journey! So happy to read still going strong

@Ira Schwartz, these are honestly great wines that were low-to-mid $20s in those days, which is laughable now but seemed $$$ in those days with all the Languedoc stuff in this days in the $10-15 range. But, other than Peyre-Rose (Madame Soria, IIRC), amazing wines that were a little cheaper, d’Aigueliere single cuvees were the gold standard!!

La Côte Rousse Red Mountain Syrah 2010

"Odedi"

9.2

Deep Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong nose, and dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black fruits with wood, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, earth, dark chocolates and peppercorn.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 14 year old Syrah from Red Mountain in Washington State is delicious now. Tangy and interesting.

Needed 2 hours to open up properly. Worth the wait.

Big and juicy. Bold and good by itself or with food.

14.4% alcohol by volume.

92 points. — 3 months ago

La Dame Rousse Tavel Rosé Blend 2018

9.4

Sh-t. I mean. This starts inconspicuous but becomes more energetic with each day open. Coiled acid and melting taffy. Aching red fruit; dripping, swirling mineral dust. Subtly sweet, then unexpectedly dry, with a powdery texture. Worthy parallel to eg bandol rose, but even more acid. — 5 months ago
