Almost menthol - all of the jam is nicely integrated. Just a hint of smoke and intrigue.

Luscious but still fresh and bright. Loads of time left.

Stellar bottle, brought back from France in 2013, light on its feet yet so much flavor, spicy finish

A very young and tight wine with great intensity. The fruit was dense and the spice and aromatics were beginning to evolve. It had great structure wth very silky tannins and beautiful length. #yvescuilleron #coterotie #rhonevalley #northernrhone #syrah #ctbucklinwine

High toned red fruit. Medium weight, nice acidity, savory meaty aromas. At its peak now. Yummy stuff

Too young, found the acid high and the both the nose and palate mute. Give another 5-7 years.
