Colline de Couzou Côte-Rôtie Syrah

Black fruit, bacon fat and complex as the day is long.

Want more of everything- more spice, more floral, more game.

So young, but I see a ton of potential. The perfumed expression is on point. Another amazing showing. On the palate, a little bloody, with distinct iron notes, might be due to sourcing from the Cote Brune.

Deep ruby, pronounced black berries, vanilla, spice and perfume. Dry, med body and long finish.

Amazing!

Over the hill.

Previous notes apply. This is great! And surprisingly good with pizza.

Ruby with a little brick on the edges. Nose is great! Floral, black fruit, smoke, and game. The initial floral stands out. I could just sit here and smell this all night. Medium body, but still big flavors. Bacon fat, cherry, and pepper. It all comes together nicely. I’m glad I got talked into this.

2009 on 4/22/17. Brick to plum color. "Meat" with some berry aroma on first swirl. Meaty, graphite, anise, lavender and fruit with tasting. Nicely balanced with good astringency. Very drinkable and ideal for a casual dinner.

Typical smoked meat here (bacon). Figs and prunes, black olive and pepper. Bitter chocolate and blackberries. Might be even better with age
