Côte-Brune Côte-Rôtie Syrah

Took 20 minutes and then! Whammo! Nose is wild and untamed, red berry fruit, complex, feral and wonderful, olives and flowers, wild mint. gorgeous, supple, olivey, high acid, very soft yet intense, nose is awesome now with air, herbs, mints and so complex and juicy, really lifted and bright, juicy and elegant and so so supple. tannins are a bit hard and angular and maybe more age will help the wine. I was wrong! Air smoothed it all out. has that old cote rotie nose, wow. juicy and clean and sappy and pure.

Divine. Years to go. 45 minutes now till insanity.

Rated more for potential than current drinking. Some promising scents with vigorous swirling, but currently closed for business and almost ashy on the palate. I think this will come around, but will need considerable time.

Bu sur 4 jours pour voir son evolution... Premiere journée... Peu de fruits, olive, poivre blanc et étable dans le tapis.
2e, la cerise ressort beaucoup et l'étable commence à disparaitre. 3e et 4e journée c'est quasiment juste de l'olive....
Pas mon genre de Cote-Rotie.
