La Landonne Côte-Rotie Syrah

Lovely stuff. Dark leather notes and intense tangy black cherry. Touches off tarry underbrush and meaty intensity. Savory, with a light hit of salinity. Long.

Plummy with edges of herbs and tangy bright edges. Blood and black cherry. Excellent

Remarkable. Juicy and so dense but my goodness this is so elegant. It’s amazing how light on its feet the wine is for such a big boy. Genius.

First time trying this, and hopefully won’t be my last.
Thanks to @Mike R for this lovely experience.

Delicious rich fruit with that lift of viognier. Great purity and intensity and length. Really great stuff

Decanted. Nice spice box and fruit. Super smooth. Thyme, wild cherry, Mira bell plum. Cinnamon bark (savory) and slight vanilla bean. Really nice tannins

Deep and meaty. Iron and plush plum. Herbs and blood. Rounded and perfectly resolved. Spectacular

Decanted for a few hours, then taken to Saison in SF. Tawny color with lite rims, mostly translucent. Deep powerful nose, with notes of red fruit, smoked meat, dry brush, Asian spice, pepper, dark moist soil and a little menthol. Rich, silky and intense in the mouth. Long finish. Great juice.

Crazy Damn Good and still a baby

A baby. Give it another 5.
