  Seriously beautiful- in my upper echelon of Cote-Rotie for sure. This starts off particularly high-pitched and very savory on the nose, with cured meats, olive brine, and a bit of bright funk, almost barnyard. I love that kind of thing, but there has to be fruit, and thankfully it emerged really quickly- a super-pure, really fresh, yet obviously ripe blackberry just behind the savory blast, with a bit of baking spice thrown in for good measure. Palate is pretty much exactly the same as the nose. It's very concentrated and present, but has a surprising brightness to it, especially as the fruit itself clearly falls into the darker spectrum.
  
  Only reason I'm not rating it higher is that I think it'll easily improve after a few years, when the fruit harmonizes a little more with the umami. It's not the most "elegant" Cote Rotie I've tried, but it's already super expressive and beautifully balanced in the slightly heady/full style.

  I decanted this for ~12 hours before drinking. This is clearly youthful, but still showing off a ton with red cherries, raspberries, sour berries, olive paste, crushed rocks, violets, black pepper, sweet tobacco, licorice, and currants. The Full bodied feel is deep and poised with crisp, medium+ acidity and youthful, medium+ tannins. This is a real classy, young Cote-Rotie. It certainly will benefit from a good 10+ years of aging, but it also feels like it will greatly reward that aging.

  In a lineup of N. Rhone syrahs including an 18 Xavier Gerard CR, a 17 Texier Cote Rotie, and an 18 Jean Claude Marsanne St. Joseph, this did not perform as well as I had hoped.
  
  It’s still far too youthful, and needs another year in bottle, but even then, felt a little light/dilute in context. Some delicate nuances going on, not too reduced, so it’s a nice wine, but not one I indeed to seek out.

  From the wine-list at Husk Restaurant in Savannah.
  Dark purple colored, full bodied with full, round, concentrated black currant fruits with tones of smoked bacon and cherry cola flavors accented by floral, cassis, and notes of spice and pepper with fine grained tannins on a long finish. A great example of Cote Rotie high achiever with decent value.

  Mörkt röd, men inte den mest intensiva blåröda färgen för en ung syrah. Medel+ tanniner, medel syra. Fruktintensiv där björnbär är den mest tydliga aromen (snarare än chark och peppar). Medel+ lång med härlig intensitet. En utmärkt Cote-Rotie som behöver vila av sig lite bäbishull. Gärna till grillat kött alla dagar i veckan.
