Tasting notes
Made from 100% Syrah and from a terrific terroir in the northern part of the appellation, the 2018 Côte Rôtie Côte Rozier will spend a full 26 months in 50% new French oak. It offers a more complex, nuanced vibe, with lots of black raspberries, spice, new leather, and dried flower aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, with a great mid-palate, integrated oak, and a seamless texture, it's another brilliant wine from this estate.

100% Syrah. Aged for 26 months in oak (50% new). Cask sample. Tasted blind. Straightforward black fruit, soft tannins, medicinal complexity on the finish. Powerful palate with decent length, but not much of Syrah's elegant aromatic potential. (RH)
