Côte Rozier Côte-Rotie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Mental nose. Just mental. Spice, florals, lavender, meat, gravy, wow, just a stunning nose. Just so in your face with all thaf cote rotie love. Under all of that there is a feral and super mineral undertone. Incredible dirt aromas. Just insane. 9.7 nose. Maybe 9.8. Palate is young but awesome. Incredible core of black fruits that are very concentrated with tiny berry fruit intensity and just lovely, dusty tannins. So elegant, long and obviously young but damn this is impressive. Will drink this while I cook dinner. It’s so fine.
