2017 Côte-Rôtie “La Dorée”
Barruol LynchThe magic of great Côte Rôtie does not come from its reputation for being a big, bombastic wine. In fact, what you’re looking for is a balance of the wild, meaty, earthy, and floral characteristics. Do not be fooled. Syrah with restraint gives the most depth, complexity, and aging potential. This one is beautiful now with some decanting, and it will continue to satisfy well into the future.
