Fleur de Montlys Côte-Rôtie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
2017 vintage. Great earthy nose paired with dark fruits. Medium bodied. That earthy nose translates to ample tannins, the aforementioned dark fruits and chock full of street fighter dirty in the flavor profile. From the “Brune” side of the tracks vs the “Blonde.” Filled with rage, poor attitude and likely in detention every day after class for the foreseeable future. Needs a decade to grow up and stop the bullying. De-stemmed and, surprisingly, 10% Viognier. 3.29.23.
