  French but no Burgundy/Bordeaux theme: Everyone guessed CDP for this. Think this was a crowd favourite with an attractive, lifted nose in the new-school Grenache mould. Some unintegrated oak with vanilla notes on the nose. Fruit was too candied in an artificial sense for me so wasn't a fan, but I was in the minority.

  In a great spot. Still lively, but the fruit has matured into a delicious richness. There are almost notes of chocolate to accompany the classic olive tapenade. Red fruits underneath balance out the palate. Not sure there is a lot of upside to cellaring further.

  Très Syrah au nez, olives, floral, poivre, mais tout en nuances et élégance, tannins soyeux, belle texture et équilibre parfait en bouche, superbe. 93-94
  
  Very Syrah like, olives, flowers, pepper but complex and nuanced, silky tannins despite a touch of grip still, texture and balance are awesome, great bottle in this good vintage.

  Still a baby. Needs 3-5 yrs, but should ultimately earn this rating. Syrah yet w/o that sense of place that makes Cote Rotie special.
