94 JCL "A ripe, still-youthful, intense CĂ´te-RĂ´tie. Full-bodied, meaty, and filled with blackberry and savory spices. This wine was tasted blind and it tasted so youthful that most thought it was at least 5-8 years younger. A wine that will keep for another few decades easily." 90 RP ...offers a sweet, expansive, smoky, bacon fat, cassis-scented nose, and rich, full-bodied, opulent flavorsâŚ

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The northern Rhone's most prestigious red appellation, producing perfumed, elegant Syrah, often co-fermented with a little Viognier, from steep terraced slopes.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
