Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 02
Saturated medium ruby. Knockout nose combines smoky black fruits, woodsmoke, gunflint and sweet oak; shows more distinctive Cote-Rotie character than Le Seigneur. Very concentrated, dense and ripe; really stuffed with extract, if still youthfully tight. Finishes with suave but substantial tannins and superb persistence. Outstanding syrah, with plenty of verve and cut.
