  Northern Rhone 2010 tasting #2: Rich and dense nose with warm blue fruit, charcuterie, blood, iron, smoke, some burnt notes and hints of coffee.
  
  Big mouthfeel with grippy tannins, high acidity and a slightly bitter finish.
  
  Fruit driven and warm wine with a new world touch. High concentration, needs more cellar time. 90p
  
  2 BV, 0 WV.

  Robe violine profonde (vs. Domaine Clusel-Roch, Côte-Rôtie, « Classique » 2009 dégusté en parallèle) sans aucune évolution sur le disque.
  
  Nez d’intensité aromatique plutôt bonne, flatteur, dans un style moderne – des belles notes de mûre, du cassis, de la violette et un côté lardé / bacon bien présent.
  
  Entrée dynamique, d’une bonne fraîcheur et présentant en même temps un fruit net et fluide.
  Corps assez ample. Le fruit est beau, net et mur (très mûre, cassis), épices (poivre, réglisse) mais en même temps parfaitement équilibré. La texture est belle, milieu de bouche sapide, grain fin de tanins malgré une structure tannique qui laisse entrevoir un très beau potentiel de vieillissement.
  Finale d’une belle longueur, charmante sur des fruits noirs nets, se prolongeant sur de la liqueur de cassis, des épices douces et du chocolat.
  
  Note : 17/20 soit 94/100

  The nose is very charming, full of sweet fruit (both darker and red berries), some soft spice and vanilla. I would serve this slightly chilled to enhance freshness and structure, and probably not save this for another decade.

  Quite backward at the moment. Pepper and black currant comes across the restrained bouquet. After some coaxing it opens up slightly towards a more herbal character with more luscious fruit. The palate has an intense tannic structure but plenty of fruit stuffing as well. Best to let this rest for several years, but ultimately I found this enjoyable today as well. Give it a long decant.

  Very pure and deep syrah. 100% new oak but no problem with integration. A stunning wine with great potential.
