Tardieu-Laurent 2007 Côte Rôtie

Country: France /
Variety: Syrah Rhône Valley
Winery: Tardieu-Laurent / Côte Rôtie

This is a full-bodied, muscular example of Côte Rôtie, with pronounced savory, meaty character tinged with smoke and ash. Yet despite that, it manages to be approachable at the same time, finishing long and velvety. Drink it over the next 5–8 years.
