Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2023-2029, Jancis Robinson MW, Mar 2022

90% Syrah, 10% Viognier. Tank sample. Deep, brooding, intense dark fruit on the palate. Has a rustic edge (in a very positive way). Not the glossiest or showiest wine but a Côte Rotie with character, lift, hints of violet and lavender. Long aftertaste. Intriguing, understated spice and olive notes on the finish. (AWH)

Score 89-91/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, Feb 2022

Lots of cedary spice, exotic flowers, and savory red and black fruits emerge from the 2020 Côte Rôtie, a medium-bodied, nicely textured, savory Côte Rôtie that's going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age to let the tannins chill out. It's already complex, though, and I suspect will evolve for 15+ years or more.
