Les Grandes Places Côte Rôtie Syrah

This is unique. Nose has pumpkin bread, tangy, rich red berries, and moist dark minerality. Mouthfilling flavors feature warm sandstone, plummy blackberryish fruit. Ultra-long finish flashes from unidentifiable flavors to unidentifiable flavors. A wine to contemplate, for sure. Just wow. 500 ml bottle.

The wine was too oaky for my tastes, but the real flaw is in the overripe grapes that created a stewy mess. 09 can create good wines, but this was not one.

2009 vintage. Wonderful wine. Come back in 5 years. Very underrated.
