  I brought this from DK, a wee bit nervous - could it stand the trip? Oh, yes. Maybe thw wine of this years tradionel Tour de France, this is vertical, strict, stony, very much old vine Syrah. Olives, smoke, medicine-cabinet; unchanged on day 2.

  Opened 3 hours. Surprisingly far too young. Needed another several years, at least. Still rough around the edges even after 7+ hours.

  this was the most approachable of the top end Cote Roti's we had. less tannins and higher acidity than others. very much at a perfect place now.
