Quinet Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah 2023

Just fantastic. Côte-Rôtie-adjacent florals on the nose, with a little IGP sauvage funk underneath. Palate is generous, supple, creamy, and mouth-filling, with red fruits, herbs, inner-mouth florals, ripe juicy tannins, and real mid-palate elegance. Fresh without being sharp, rich without being heavy. The quality here is absurd for the price. — 2 days ago

Violets, dark fruits, still tannic and structured, owned and produced by the family of the cellar master of Chateau Palmer, this is wonderful Margaux, needs more cellaring (5-10 years??), excellent juice!! — 4 months ago

@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego -an Interestingly enough, I used to subscribe to Claude Kolm’s wine journal, he’s the one who raved about this property. Then I found an in-bond source for the 1994-1996 and 1998-1999 in Glasgow (Scotland), and purchased cases of each vintage. Finally, by then (early 2000s) my brother had started his wine importing company, so I had the cases shipped to southern France to one of his producers who added the 5 cases to an incoming shipment as “samples” (legal at that time). Circuitous, but worth it for what’s in the bottle!! 🤷🤷
