Côte-Rôtie Syrah

2017 Vintage- roasted meats, boysenberry, white pepper, medium tannins, background oak

Lovely. It’s such a classic.

Garnet colored fading slightly to brick around the meniscus, the wine offers an earthy nose of tobacco, horse blanket, earth, smoke, leather, and gobs of black pepper. The earthiness recedes a bit on the palate in favor of dark but restrained berry fruit and lots of black pepper in the finish. A delightful mature Rhône.

Earthy and rich, still slightly tart fruit on palate. Tasty stuff.

Thank you Yves. Insane 2001!!!

As much as anyone can ask from a wine. Dark, ripe red plums - slight fattiness - pepper all perfectly blended. Big fruit, but medium body wine. Modest but seductive.

Gangloff '92 Côte-Rôtie. Shut up.

Rich and hedonistic in All the right ways. Aromas exploded out of the glass. Flowers, blood, meat, campfire embers, cigar smoke. Complete package.

Smoky, with some bacon and meat, a bit modern but still recognizable as Cote Rotie.
