Tardieu Laurent : Côte-Rôtie 2013

2013 Cote-Rotie Vielles Vignes can be considered as the best 2013 wine from Domaine Tardieu-Laurent. The pure Syrah grapes grow on the best plots of the estate: Landonne, Chavaroche, Rozier, and Rochains. The shiny blood-red hued 2013 Cote-Rotie offers marvellous smoked bacon, graphite, black pepper, and even cherry. The palate shows a dense, intense texture with spicy yet fruity flavours, and firm tannins.
