This doesn’t have the style of the Bousselots but it’s appealing in its way

The 2016 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard is co-fermented with 4% Viognier in a Côte-Rôtie style that delivers a red and black-fruited nose with a floral grip and rustic rockiness

Rioja Alta, Gran Reserva 890 other_regions_italy This problem did not occurReddish orange color. Knockout aromas reminiscent of a great mature Burgundy, strawberry, plum, loam, tar, vanilla, smoke and earth. Rich, shockingly fresh flavors of currant, cinnamon and earth; juicy acids give clarity to the wine's flavors and cleanse the palate. Slight minty nuance on the very long, brisk aftertaste. Fabulous Rioja gran reserva. Stephen Tanzer
