Les Grandes Places Côte-Rôtie Syrah



Insane nose. Floral like nothing else. Only Cote Rotie gets this pastille like florality that is dense and layered. Stunning. Some judicious and restrained sweet oak, blackberry, even cassis and so much more. Just sicko complexity. Unreal palate that needs some air for wood to integrate more but wow it’s so stunning. Treacly texture, insane energy, purity and ridic balance. Super. concentration and finesse and terrific granite styled finish. So classy and this will gain so much with air. So juicy, silky and long with air and great refinement.
