The essence of ashtrays, very smoky, some red fruit too - 1996s can have sharp acidity, but this was fully resolved

Corked!
Glorious nose. Classic cote Rotie fine grained Syrah with acid lift. Fresh on palate and vigorous fruit to close . Lively and lovely wine
Light, smoky, grippy, some game, faded, but very attractive
Phenomenal start with its blast of smoky red fruit and bacon and lively acidity, but it does seem to lose impact as you go down the bottle
