Les Grandes Places Côte-Rôtie Syrah
Wow. I needed something profound and I got it. Yes this is 10-15 years too young but wow. Nose is just stunning. Deep berry fruit that is so clear and vivid along with huge florals and a rocky component under. Terrific spice and some game. Palate so elegant with massive power and concentration but all wrapped in finesse. Really not a hard edge in sight. Wow. Spectacular. Showing a hint of wood right now but really well integrated. Finish is a mile long. Sappy and stunningly fresh and linear.
