Deep ruby in colour, the 2018 Binardes is a voluptuous style of Côte-Rôtie for a producer with J-M Stephan's philosophy. Ripe with brambly fruit on the nose, there are layers of fleshy cherry, blackberry and plum together with a hint of pink peppercorn. Silky and seductive on the palate, this is a rounded, plush, chocolatey Syrah that can be enjoyed now. The tannins have foled into the fruit, letting the plump summer pudding tones flow through with hints of liquorice, black pepper and bacon fat. Long and fruit-driven on the finish, this is a wine to enjoy now.
