9.3

A very young and tight wine with great intensity. The fruit was dense and the spice and aromatics were beginning to evolve. It had great structure wth very silky tannins and beautiful length. #yvescuilleron #coterotie #rhonevalley #northernrhone #syrah #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

09's are just a tough vintage. Amazing aromatics but the longer it stayed open the tighter it got — 9 years ago

Slight floral quality to the edgy sweetness and gorgeous black fruit. I suspect some co-fermentation here (Viognier). Lovely, lively, and lithe on the palate. Plenty of acids here, so this will pair with nearly any meats. Just to reiterate, this is not your typical Paso syrah (no offense), but an elegant rendition of the grape. — 10 years ago

9.5

Côte-Rôtie Deep ruby with purple highlights. Clean, medium-plus nose with a riot of aromas including medicinal overtones of iodine and tar, black olive licorice, black pepper and exotic spices. Medium plus acidity, medium plus ripe tannins with all the aromas mirrored on the palate. Excellent multi-layered wine with a long finish. — 9 years ago
