Woah, this is really cool! Perfectly mature, deep, spicy and meaty ripe fruit with nice acidity and structure. Just a really fine example of aged Northern Rhone syrah.

Extracted one of the best looking corks from a bottle this age meant we started promisingly: On the nose char and grilled meats, some dark spice that became more exotic with air.... Seriously great texture and balance, so light on it's feet but moves with grace and power intertwined perfectly. Terrific.

This was fantastic. A pungent nose of meat that I adored. I could just smell this for hours it was that appealing to my preference. Still quite firm tannins but nevertheless drinking well. I really, really, enjoyed this. *drank with SW

Drank on my 48th bday. Everything you could ask for out a Cote Rotie. Grilled meat on the nose. Silky mouthfeel. Terrific balance and a long complex finish. At or near its peak. Drink now.

Glorious. A richer style of CR than say Jamet, but still very appealing and quite light on its feet. No hurry to drink.
