Country: France /
Variety: Syrah Rhône Valley
Winery: Tardieu-Laurent / Côte Rôtie
Not as impressive as the 2007, Tardieu-Laurent’s 2008 Côte Rôtie is still a very good wine, boasting notes of espresso and black olive tinged with oaky notes of cedar and cinnamon. Finishes with tart fruit and soft tannins; drink now–2015.
