XAVIER GERARD 2018 COTE ROTIE

If you want to drink Syrah you want to be drinking it from the Northern Rhone, this Cote Rotie is a true classic. With a bright garnet color in the glass followed by lovely soft aromas of red plums and some bramble it is pure, focused red fruit with a savory note and it has a long and very balanced finish. This wine is drinking perfectly right out of the bottle but I can only imagine what it will be like in ten years.
