Blind tasting - Syrah, Northern Rhone, Australia and NZ (Newmarket, Auckland): a little closed, ripe dark fruits with some spices. medium body, medium tannins, medium finish with oak and sweet vanilla. balanced in general, but not impressive, especially compare to the Pierre Gaillard, which is more energetic.
ST 90-92
Ap 5/5, Ar 12/15, Palate 16/20, Overall 3+4/10 Total 90/100

This is always a delight. Not the most complex Côte-Rôtie, but always very well done, with loads of fruit and very well balanced. Absolutely lovely and a great QPR.

Tout en velours en bouche. Le nez s'ouvre sur des fruits rouges mais évolue après quelques minutes d'aération.
Prêt à boire. Excellent vin

Still quite fruit-driven w/abundant red fruit on the palate. Multi-layered, complex aftertaste.

Well balanced with earth and spice. Tons of pepper and meat with just enough new oak.
