Tonight, the '06 Lagier Meredith Syrah, is showing like a top-shelf Cote Rotie. The nose is displaying intense, rich dark fruits, soaring floral aromatics, sweet spice & herbs, moist earth and crushed stone. On the palate, a mix of crushed blackberries, raisins, licorice and plum saturated the senses complemented by sweet herbs, and hints of citrus. As intense a display as it is, the textures remain refined and fresh. The finish is long with bitter dark fruit and remnants of fine tannin. Although ripe, it shows tremendous depth and energy. — 10 years ago
Cherries, dried strawberries, balsamic reduction and dried rose petals. Tannins still grippy and acid still soaring. — 11 years ago
This wine goes extraordinarily well with medium flavored wings from Buffalo Wild Wings. Really brings out the taste of sage. — 12 years ago

Big and rich. Solid tannin core with soaring fruit in the palate. Great nose and palate and finish. Lovely and complex. Number 2 wine of the night. A great success. — 10 years ago
Mouton Vertical dinner. This was one of the best 86 Moutons that I have tried and certainly worthy of its Perfect rating. Deep dark color with its soaring nose of red and black fruits, sweet cassis and Asian spice, cedar, mint and vanilla, a monster of a wine but tonight very complex and aromatic, almost sexy showing great intensity on the palate. — 11 years ago
Black cherry, soaring aromatics with Asian spice, dried herbs and underbrush love the tension and grip surprising for the vintage as this is showing young but very open, — 11 years ago
Nectarine, apricot and pear, evolves into spring flowers and sea salt. Palate is surprisingly complex, fruit is balanced, acidity soaring, and that bit of white pepper hits on the finish w a pleasant touch of almondy bitterness. — 12 years ago

Great vintage for Jamet! Amazing aromatics, soaring black cherry, smoked meat, violets & licorice. Very complex and more open & sexy than the La Mouline. Groups favorite in the 99 Cote Rotie flight — 10 years ago
