Tardieu-Laurent
Côte-Rôtie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Initial aromas of black plum, black pepper, herbs (thyme) a hint of bacon. Medium plus bodied palate with spicy, bloody flavours. Good density with ripe fruit from the 2016 vintage. Fine persistent tannins. This wine is still quite youthful and primary - possibly drunk a little young. Next in at least 2 years. Potential to be 95+ in the future. 18.5/20 from Jancis which is a high score from her. Had a second bottle 2 years later almost to the day. Similar notes to above without being a standout. Still can’t see how Jancis scored this at 18.5. I will do a more detailed note for the last bottle in 2 years +.
