Made by Christophe as a tribute to Cote Rotie and coming from a blend of estate vineyards... its deep ruby, semi-opaque color is followed by fabulous notes of rose petals, incense, violets, leather and sweet raspberry. These flow seamlessly to a full-bodied, supple and elegant Syrah that has no hard edges, integrated acidity and thrilling purity of fruit... will have an easy two decades or more of longevity.

Part 1 of the final and main event for the Fall WNH. The most spectacular lineup of wines I’ve ever seen, and an overall wonderful ending to an amazing trip with fantastic people. Unicorn wine to me. Didn’t even know Cayuse made this! Only done en mag. A baby at this stage, but it’s typical Cayuse with the funky olive tapenade, smoked brisket meat and bell pepper nose. It’s massive on the palate with rhubarb and muddled blackberry, and spiced tea. Hope to see this bottle again. Insane, @David L !

Tasted from Magnum. Utter infanticide! Too young to fully integrate. This may need up to a week to get a proper tasting. I will say that this is already revealing itself as a special wine. I'm not rating it yet, however.

Meaty and funky. Could use a few more years.
