Vielles Vignes Côte-Rôtie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Good example of a Cote- Rotie a bit to the international style with a good bit of newer oak. The wine is unfiltered, which gives a good sense of earth to the wine. Well made, good earth, bramble and some mushroom on the palate. Served with roasted chicken, polenta and sautéed spinach.

Stellar wine. Not sure why the scrub below 8.5ed it. High quality Cote-Rotie and 2005 drinking very well. Decant. Could sit longer.

Jan 10th, 2018Solid Cote Rotie with 11 years. Drinking well now but others will be put down for some time. Strong dark and red fruits on nose and palette. Bacon drippings and other meaty flavors.
