Pierre Gaillard
Côte-Rôtie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Deep purple, almost Inky in color, with a short purple rim.
Strong nose of black and blue fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates and peppercorn.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, tobacco leaf, oak, bitter herbs, vegetables, spices and black pepper.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a tasty Syrah from Northern Rhone. Dark and rich. Nicely balanced with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and still young. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
Gets earthier with a touch of bitterness, as it opens up.
Good right out of the bottle and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 90% Syrah and 10% Viognier. Aged for 18 months in oak barrels.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$60.

Earthy red fruit, some green pepper, barnyard a touch of rubber and black pepper spice on the nose. Sweet-tart and silky on the palate. Medium bodied. Echoes of black pepper on the finish.

Meaty. Rich with nice Syrah development. A lush edge to it as well.

Super nice, opened massively after 45 minute decant. Soft tannins, terroir, berries.

Drinking with mom and dad for my last night in MA. Color is beautiful garnet with brown. Nose definitely tells you it is old. The darker red fruit comes in through the nose with earthy and leathery tones. The taste is very much the same, it is juicier than I anticipated, good tannins though and structure. From what I can tell this is very indicative of a Syrah (which makes sense as it is 90% syrah and 10% viogner). Upper Rhone. Definitely would drink again, but it is for decadent moments at $75 for the bottle.
