la Giroflarie Cote Rotie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Opened for 1.5 hours. Peppery and jammy nose, with some mysterious dark fruit. And maybe some basil? Oh my! Full mouth feel, with slight tannins, and nice, long finish. Quite complex. I love the way this wine envelops ones senses in a way that other wines don't. It demands my attention, which it receives. This is supposed to have a little viognier in it, but am not tasting it. Perhaps it's the floral part? Regardless, this is a lovely bottle and well worth the splurge.
