Is Les Grandes Places Côte-Rôtie a good wine?
Tasting profile
An elegant, silky Syrah with a complex nose of sweet garden aromas, olives, garrigue and earthy undergrowth, leading to layered flavors of raspberry, pomegranate, blueberry and smoky cherry accented by vanilla. Beautifully balanced and spicy with exceptional length, it drinks well now with decanting but rewards further aging.
