Côte-Rôtie Syrah

Edgy and untamed and extremely gamy - brilliant - hard to express except a mixture of black and blue fruit blended Syrah - will improve with three more years

Only 2nd example of Cote route I’ve had...enticing baked fruit notes...solid concentration dark/red fruit green shah driven herbs and old school meaty undertone ...I need more!! Extremely well balanced

I know, I know. Too early. I couldn't hold out any longer. BUT. This. Is. Awesome. Oozing plenty of goodness with mushroom, barnyard, and bacon fat. Oh the bacon fat. If you want a fruit-forward, uninteresting Syrah, well...ok. This isn't for you. But if you have some game or are willing to lugnut up and try a real Syrah, uncork this beauty. And this beauty can easily go 10 more years without breaking a sweat.

I truly do not remember opening this bottle, but 48 hours later this is firing 💥 such a good ending. Last bottle standing and easily in the top 3 out of 9.

Wonderful accompaniment to lunch today.
