St茅phane Ogier La Vialli猫re (C么te-R么tie)
Opulent, supple and silky, the wine is concentrated and deep with layers of creamy, ripe, dark and spicy red fruits that linger. The finish resonates while it keeps on going with its exotic-styled finish, which is unique as the wine is 100% Syrah. Give it a few years in the cellar and enjoy for at least 2 decades or linger after that. Drink from 2026-2045. 394 Views Tasted Oct 24, 2025 |
