Côte-Rôtie Syrah

Dark ruby scarlet. Translucent. Really nice nose with notes of red berries, slate stone, menthol, rhubarb, smoke, pepper and a little bacon. Silky smooth in the mouth. Nice fruit and structure. In a great spot.

Deep dark ruby. Great nose of rich silky fruit with notes of menthol, slate stone, bacon and blueberry. Great mouth feel. Coats the palate. Great wine.

This is initially a wonderful, pheromon all and barnyard classic Cote Rotie. Then the wine fades rapidly and elements of green olives and green herbal flavors introduce themselves and the wine declines rapidly. Drink it within 20 minutes of opening and it is a true pleasure.

Classic black olive, smoky meat, pencil shavings, on palate a soft plushness in mouthfeel, tannins the finely integrated tannins do not come through until the end
