La Vialliere Côte-Rôtie Syrah

Needs Time, great nose. Good thing I have two more bottles to see the maturation. 2012 vintage

This one is an ager.

L'éternel regret: en avoir douze de plus pour pouvoir en ouvrir une par an. Encore trop jeune mais malgré tout sublime ! De la densité, du fruit. Pas encore une évolution très prononcée mais ça s'amorce.

Violets, wet granite, smoked meats, peppercorns

Still way too young

Earthy- not big - excellent with lamb/Mediterranean meat/ not big enough for steak. Dinner party in bridge

pure red and black fruit but hiding behind a wall of oak...this will take at least 5 or 7 years before being enjoyable...very fine tannins...

Delicious, bramble fruit wave greets you up front but then you get that wet stone taste and a little bit of spice at the end; velvety tannins trail off for a while. Great #rhone #syrah wine but the 2015 bottle prices seem to be getting a little out of hand. This Syrah paired pretty well with a Lamb Souvlaki plate at a BYOB Greek restaurant - I have to say the wine outshone the kebabs, though.

Mmmmmmmmm.

Hum. Trop jeune
