Côte-Rôtie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Greener than this dude 🤢 but in such a lovely, complex and nuanced way. Cracked green pepper corns, twiglets, black olive, potting shed, scorched earth. Sappy earthy and stoney palate, delicate, lacy and long.

On the nose, chestnuts, warm black plums, blackberries stewed blue fruits, violets and pepper. The palate, stewed, black plums, plums, blackberries, stewed strawberries, dark cherries, slight tarry quality, roasted chestnuts, pepper, black cherry cola, the core flavor of anise, herbs, dry stems, underbrush, violets, dry dark florals, roasted expresso, dry brown crushed rocks, the acidity drips over the palate, still a little tension, the structure starting to yield, the balance of fruit and earth nearly 50-50. The finish has nice ripe fruit but gives way to slightly dry tannins. Give it another 3-5 years. Should have had a Shiraz given where we are but at the price on the menu, too hard to resist. "The Cut" a good spot for dinner in Sydney.
