  Exceptional. Evolved over its drinking window. Wonderful fragrant notes on top of typical Rhone syrah package.

  This Cuvée is a blend of grapes coming from Côte Brune and Côte Blonde vineyards.
  ____________
  
  Color: Dark ruby.
  
  Nose: Immediately, this smells like Côte-Rôtie! Deep, dark mineral pool of smoky black raspberry and black/purple plum fruit kissed with violets and cola spices. Lovely complexity (if you pay attention). Classic Côte-Rôtie. Beautiful.
  
  Palate: Medium-full body. Flavors of black raspberry, bitter cherry, and cola. Good concentration. Slightly spiky acidity (this will smooth-out with age). Big but ripe/soft tannins. Very good balance. 'Only' 14.0% alc.
  
  Please serve this sublime Côte-Rôtie at cellar temperature (62° max), let it come to temperature, and savor in your finest Riedel, Zalto, or Grassl glass.
  
  92-93: now. With 45 minutes of air, drinks beautifully right now (2022).
  93-94: with a bit more age.
  Peak drinking: 2023-2030 (from a cool cellar).
