2017 Vignobles Chirat Côte-Rôtie 'La Rose Brune'

92 Points: All Syrah brought up in 40% new French oak (500-liter barrels), the 2017 Côte Rôtie La Rose Brune offers a big, sweet nose of blackberries, raspberries, crushed flowers, vanilla, and toasted spice. This carries to a medium-bodied, ripe, sexy 2017 that has sweet tannins, notable balance, and just straight-up delicious Côte Rôtie fruit. Drink it any time over the coming decade.
