Jeb Dunnuck, writing for jebdunnuck.com on November 19, 2020, awarded this wine a score of 93. He describes it as offering "another level of richness," with a blend of black and red fruits intertwined with "peppery spice, plum sauce, and candied violets." He goes on to praise its "loads of charm, medium to full body, ripe, broad tannins, and a great finish," suggesting that it will "evolve gracefully for 10-15 years." Dunnuck's review highlights the wine's balance between richness and complexity, making it a satisfying choice for a range of palates.

Similarly, Josh Raynolds from Vinous, also rated this wine 93 in his review published on April 1, 2020. Raynolds notes its "saturated violet color" and describes the nose as "intense" and "highly perfumed" with "spice-tinged red/dark berry, floral and tobacco qualities." On the palate, he finds the wine "broad, fleshy and appealingly sweet," with "palate-coating black raspberry, cherry and violet pastille flavors sharpened by a palate-stinging suggestion of white pepper." The wine's finish is "very long and floral," with "building spiciness and round, even tannins that make a late appearance." Raynolds also mentions that the wine includes 25% whole clusters and 20% new oak, elements that contribute to its distinctive profile.

Both reviews underscore the wine's complex flavor profile and aging potential, making the 2018 Domaine Garon Cote Rotie Les Triotes a noteworthy selection for those seeking a robust and elegant Syrah.
