Réserve Côte-Rôtie Syrah

Nice but a bit one dimensional compared to some of the others

Leggero ma ben equilibrato. Va giù con piacere 👌

Couldn’t resist popping another one of these! So good. Green tobacco, pepper, spice, coffee and brilliant red fruits. Excellent again

Absolutely delicious. Young still but drinking awesome!

Interesting showing.

Quintessential you might say.

huge on the blue fruit and Asian spice

Whiff of new oak. Overall a subdued nose. Very young. On the palate Latent Dense and undeveloped of M+ intensity. Early Cote Roties I had from the mid 1980s always had a peppery side to them. David LeMire MW who hosted this Shiraz tasting said that these days the French think that pepper in a Syrah is more for drink now styles. 93 points now but time will take it to 96+.

Delicious....

Nice fruit with dark berry, vanilla and dark chocolate notes with soft tannins. Nice with medium rare Prime Rib.
