3 bottles of this benchmark Cote-Rotie, 96% Syrah, 4% Viognier, fruit sourced primarily from Viallière and Champon vineyards. 2005 was an excellent vintage in the Northern Rhone and this is now starting to drink beautifully.
John Livingstone-Learmonth (Drink Rhone) - 5 STARS
(casks) quite a dark robe; elegant aroma – the fruit is very primary, has a dancing freedom and elegant shape – a ballerina. The fruit continues on the palate with a lissom, clear-toned appeal. The fruit is the real ace card with good, silken matter around it. A touch of end plum and mint. The length is good, and there is an elegant, sophisticated purity in the wine. Great finesse and appeal – a vin for good friends when mature, but can be drunk earlier due to the fruit clarity. STGT wine. From late 2009. 2020-22 Nov 2006 *****
Wine Spectator - 93 points
Very juicy, with an intense core of raspberry and blackberry fruit layered with dashes of sweet vanilla, iron, mocha, briar and spice. The long, juicy finish lets all the components take an encore, with plenty of grip in reserve. Best from 2009 through 2018. 1,000 cases made.
