Côte-Rôtie Syrah

So as it turns out this is really good. Haunting aromas of black pepper, grapefruit skin and scortched earth. Dried red fruits abound. What a wonderful treat. Thanks @Nathaniel DiMaggio you big pimpin player

1989!!'

Rare bottle, different from the 1990 Gentaz Côte Rôtie Côte Brune.... this wine is comprised of 2 lieux dits: La Landonne and La Viaillère. It does not contain any of Gentaz’s small parcel in Côte Brune that was adjacent to the subplot that is now known as La Turque. For this reason Côte Brune does not appear on the label of this particular bottling.

Robe noire
Nez réduit sale s améliore après 20h d ouverture
Bouche ample pleine et soyeuse en attaque mais après vin imbuvable dense stricte et tanins séchant et rugueux

Robe noire
Nez carton mouillé suie bouchon parfait arôme intrinsèque au vin
Avec 12 h d air aromatique plus acceptable mais pas agréable
Bouche dense ferme carré
Un vin paraissant d une jeunesse incroyable mais ferme dense et aromatique peu agréable

I never thought I would get the honor.
