Another blockbuster wine from Chapoutier. Dark red with some purple tones all the way to the rim, the nose us unmistakably syrah with blackberry jam and black pepper. The flavors continue onto the palate with a nice, comforting sweetness in the middle. Hints of anise continue with the peppery characteristics into the long, long finish. This wine is made from the oldest vines in Côte-Rôtie at the top of the Northern Rhone and is unfiltered/unfined and will age gracefully.

Dark red /
purple with a brilliant pink to clear rim. The nose features intense, brambly
ripe raspberry, black cherry, and wild blackberry seesawing back and forth with
spicy black pepper, all under a soft layer of violets. The deep, juciy fruit is
accentuated on the palate by flavors of tar, and a hint of red grape skins.
Muscular & dense, the long finish sticks with you for 90+ seconds.
