Marie et Pierre Bénetière
Cordeloux Côte-Rôtie Syrah
From the minimally produced, minimally exported Bénetière. Bright, fresh and ultra focused with a beautiful elegant floral nose, boysenberry, granite, hints of black pepper and Burgundy-like stems. The finish is long and finessed. One day I have to try the Dolium! 😁

Jamet blew this away today. Disjointed. Rumor is that Pierre was unhappy with his 14 and drained the tanks. I want to revisit this 13' again soon with no 14' in the pipeline

Nov 19th, 2016Birthday celebration for @Cody Uzzel at Lucio’s with a bunch of friends. All wines (except sparklers) tasted blind.

Another one of my contributions. WOTN for sure. When the dinner got planned for Cody I just knew the time had come to kill off this 🦄. During the work week my wife goes home for lunch, so on the day of the dinner I had her open this bad boy and put it in a decanter. Fast forward 8+ hours later and it was still a little tight when first sampling it over dinner. However, the insane part was that it evolved at a mind-blowing rate, dropping its guard and unleashing a payload of fragrance that absolutely shocked people. The whole table was fixated and enamored with this wine and it only got better as the night progressed. Drank beautifully with a heavily perfumed nose of musk, sandalwood, tonka, red fruits, and granite. True craftsmanship, such finesse and power. This was an ethereal experience.
