Fragrant nose of blueberry, smokey minerality, still a whiff of violet.
Dense and powerful start, structured around solid acids garantueeing an excellent food match. Tannins nicely integrated. Finish is as smokey as the nose. Mid palate could be better.
A fine example of northern rhône syrah.

93% Syrah, 7% Viognier Carafé 90 minutes puis remis en bouteille et bu 4 heures après l’ouverture
L’odorat est sur les arômes de champignons puis les fruits rouges, le poivre et la fleur d’oranger. En bouche, ce vin est rectiligne, avec une minéralité modérée, une amertume finale légère et une longueur modérée. Nettement plus intéressant avec la nourriture que seul.

Classic white pepper notes, bright red fruit. Quite aromatic and flavourful - but also very harmonious and almost delicate in style, with the tannins being nearly imperceptible. This a a very good, distinctive Côte-Rôtie.

Some would say refined, I reckon lacks stuffing/backbone. Diffuse. Nothing untoward just rather boring. Drink up.
