Saint Cosme Cote Rotie 2006 (Syrah)
"The 2006 Cote Rotie, which comes largely from the Cote Brune vineyard Vialliere with another part from Les Plans, looks superb. Dense ruby/purple with sweet tannins, beautiful acidity, fabulous flavor intensity and penetration, and again, great aromatics, this is a terrific Cote Rotie that should ultimately eclipse the 2005. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025."

"Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 08
Opaque ruby. Ripe blackberry and plum aromas are complicated by cinnamon and cracked pepper, along with a strong mineral underpinning. Displays fresher red fruits on the palate, with gentle tannins adding grip and structure. Shows excellent finishing focus and length. According to Barruol, this contains "lots of Cote Brune fruit" and clocked in at just 12.5% alcohol, while the 2005 is 13.5%."
