Domaine Gilles Barge
Cœur de Combard Côte-Rôtie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
This is absolutely one of the finest wines being made in Cote Rotie today. Volcanic soils. Nose is so seductive. Unreal florals and game. Just so refined and vivid. A knockout. 9.8 nose. Wow wow wow wow. This is what one wants. I am blown away. Background of granitic stoniness. Palate is so silky, ultra sleek and has superb concentration but my goodness is so so elegant. Crunchy, energetic finish and the silkiness is just amazing. A serious amount of game throughout and what a long finish. Just so juicy, linear and energetic. This is a mind-blowing wine. Red berry fruit on the nose. Clay. Pottery. Amazing amazing wine. Perfect balance and the silkiest of silk tannins. Meaty finish. Can’t wait till this unravels but wowza. How much better can it get? Wow the tannins are so sweet, so silky and so refined. This is DEEP OCEAN!
