2012 Clusel-Roch Côte-Rôtie
Posted: Sat Oct 29, 2016 12:25 am
Unforgiven, young syrah from the Northern Rhône.
Dark color, nose of meat, fat bacon, black pepper, smoke, dark red berries, earth, minerals. In mouth, bitter red cherries, meat, earthy minerals. Strong tannins that is unconventional for Côte-Rôtie. Light bitterness, old wood, and some more dark cranberries, something like sweet berries and long tannic with burned dates. Long. Excelkent wine, directly aligned with traditionnal style and my palate. Tn: 91-92.
