Oct 16th, 2016Ruby. Closed at first but a vibrant nose came on. Smoke, plum, menthol, black fruit. In the mouth it's still chewy and shows it needs more age. Try again in 5+ years.

Jun 12th, 2016A nice Syrah, not complex or in any way to be confused with a La La, but rich and round and pleasant to drink

Feb 8th, 2016Medium bodied, classic cool climate/Rhone Syrah with still plenty of red and blue fruits, spices, used leather and game notes coming through with a very long finish. 13% ABV. Resolved tannins, velvety mouthfeel and alcohol and acidity in perfect harmony. Lovely bottle!!

Eh. This was totally fine, but was kinda flat and lacked expression. There was some signature Cote Rotie stuff there, but it seemed a little muted.
