Country: France /
Variety: Syrah Rhône Valley
Winery: Michel & Stéphane Ogier / Côte Rôtie
This is a pretty, elegant Côte Rôtie, only medium in body, but with a lovely silky texture and a tart, lingering finish. Herbal aromas suggest green olives, and there’s a hint of bacon smoke to go with flavors of tart raspberries and cherries. Drink now–2020.
