Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Terroir on the nose, bright fruit rounded off with nice acidity. A fantastic bottle!

A powerhouse and perfectly defining this style of Côte Rôtie. Rich and textured with both berrylike character as well as smoky dark aromas. A classic

A bit underwhelming perhaps the vintage is slagging. All of the easy drinking Syrah notes are there but the mineral bite of the North is gone.

Garrigue, bacon fat, game, terracotta and red fruits show on the nose. Fresh, medium bodied and moderately intense on the palate, with pleasing layers of the bouquet. Good all round.

My idea of liquid dinner. Dark berries, smoky, tobacco, spice, violet, meaty, dark tannins.

Menthol, earth, and sawdust on the nose. On the palate plenty of rustic, old world earth and ripe red fruits with tobacco and black pepper.
