La Porchette Côte-Rôtie Syrah

stunning nose. amazing wood sweetnes, but needs time to air, rich and elegant and silky, coconut/vanilla and very sleek and refined. brad pitt made this wine with his shirt off. lovely. long and juice.

Red fruited cote rotie. Only burgundy can be better to me. Transparent and will only improve. 2013 is real deal.

2017 vintage. Drier than dust. Went far beyond being a “food wine.” Have enjoyed other wines from this producer in the past but this ain’t one of them. 11.6.24.

violet, dark brambly fruit, black cherry, earth, light tannins and good acidity, very elegant

Dark fruit, violets, sleek, aromatic. Tannins are pretty quiet, acid is still kicking. This was pretty damn delicious, esp if you like fruit. Not sure how it will age, but it’s drinking spectacularly at the moment.

Always a crowd favorite.

Granite and Schist parcels make up this fabulous light little cote rotie. Bright black fruit - bramble dominated, backboned by wonderful wet stone minerality and violets. Needs some time before the fat lady sings. Great little charcoal/cassis finish. Lovely

Light little Côte-Rôtie. Fun.
