Lot #78. Kongsgaard Syrah Hudson Vineyard 2001

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 96 RP.
"The 2001 Syrah may be the finest yet produced by Kongsgaard. It is a dead ringer for a more exotic version of Chapoutier’s great Le Pavillon (from 80+ year old vines planted in granite soils on the Hermitage Hill). Aromas of white chocolate, ground pepper, blackberries, cassis liqueur, and flowers (lilacs?) is followed by a wine of great density, a certain exoticism, and powerful, thick, huge flavors oozing with extract, glycerin, and personality. There is also considerable tannin as well as decent acidity. This is about as close to a northern Rhone as Kongsgaard Syrahs get." Wine Advocate #150, Dec 2003
Provenance: The Souche Cellar
Notes: 1 Nicked capsule, 4 very lightly scuffed, 1 very lightly torn labels.
