At a Rhone wine theme dinner with friends, served blind, decanted for few hours & it really needed it, most guessed a Northern Rhone & a Lala, very dark, full bodied, meaty, complex but still young

Kleur: Diep donkerrood met een dunne rand. Aroma / bouquet: Aangenaam, verleidelijk bouquet, Donker gedroogd fruit, zoete kruiderij, rozenblaadjes, een subtiele rokerigheid. Smaak / Afdronk: Krachtige, klassieke en grootse Syrah. Krachtig èn prachtig in balans. Verfijnde zuurgraad, prachtig gerijpte tannines, geweldig mooie concentratie en vulling.Verfijnd hout. Serieus lange afdronk. Algemeen / potentieel: Grootse klassieke Côte-Rotie! 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 14 + Smaak / Afdronk: 19 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 97/100
Colour: Deep dark red with a thin edge. Aroma / bouquet: Pleasant, seductive bouquet, Dark dried fruit, sweet spices, rose petals, a subtle smokiness. Taste / Aftertaste: Powerful, classic and grand Syrah. Powerful and beautifully balanced. Refined acidity, beautifully ripened tannins, wonderful concentration and filling. Refined wood. Seriously long finish. General / potential: Great classic Côte-Rotie! 50 + Colour: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 14 + Taste / Aftertaste: 19 + General / potential: 9 = 97/100

Nice dark meaty aromas with lovely black spices. This follows through on the palate with a slightly lighter bodied that expected. Drinking very well with loads of interesting spices throughout. Had with Mr. Pott.

Like it but didn't love it. Very obvious N Rhone meaty/ pepper notes, black fruit and some oak still evident. Mid weight. Finishes long but overall rather one dimensional for a wine at this price/ reputation.

Heaven in a bottle! Complex and vivid on the nose. Multilayer, super elegant and long finish. A masterpiece. I love it
