 Tasted by THT on 3/20/2014 & rated 86 points: Pas pris de note. De mémoire, robe sombre mais qui commence à tuiler sur le bord. Très joli nez à peine évolué. Encore beaucoup de fruits, des épices, à peine des notes d'évolution. La bouche est encore un poil rustique. Bon, mais a souffert de la proximité du Graillot (869 views)
 Tasted by THT on 7/5/2011 & rated 84 points: Robe très sombre, à peine évoluée au bord du disque. Le vin est très fermé. Il faut une agitation vigoureuse pour qu'il consente à livrer quelques notes d'abord animales, puis des fruits noirs, prunes, une pointe de fumée. L'attaque en bouche est vive, puis les tanins se font sentir presque tout de suite. Dissocié, austère, très loin du plaisir de l'Hermitage dans le même millésime. Il va lui falloir encore une bonne dizaine d'années avant d'être approchable. (1639 views)

Syrah

Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)

Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent.

Regional History:
Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.

### 2017 vintage ###
"The first red wines already tasted in the Northern Rhône promise a beautiful vintage, with a quality close to the 2015 or even the 2009 vintage" - NEWRHÔNE MILLESIMES
