Côte-Rôtie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
I love this estate and of course Côte Rotie in 15 is the sweet spot in the N. Rhone. Stunning nose. Bacon, violets, olive, deep red and black berry fruit. Mint, menthol, super mineral. So deep. The palate is an exercise in finesse and refinement which is what Côte Rotie should be. Medium bodied, super juicy, hint of oak, incredibly complex and deep, with terrific acid and freshness. Amazing length and so so deep and fresh. Wow what a finish with tiny berry fruit intensity. Stunning out of the bottle but better in 2 hours and even better in 15 years. Refined and elegant yet powerful and structured. So good.

Five more years... Delicate, feminine but full of life.
