Community Tasting Note

Eudemis Likes this wine:

Sunday, November 7, 2021 - 14% alcohol. The label says 2-ème mise. Very good long cork. Decanted 45 mn ahead. Very dark colour with no significant thinning at the rim.
The nose is magnificent, with violet and a very pleasant pharmaceutical note; complex and harmonious. The mouth is youthful and energetic with excellent grip and a winning juicy quality; blueberry added to the mix. No harsh tannins and no excess acidity. Pretty irresistible. Nothing rustic here.

This drinks well now, but it should improve further in the next five to ten years, and then keep for another ten.
In a word, superb, and I cannot think of a better exponent of Northern Rhône Syrah.
My wife commented that she liked it but she wished for a little bit more mellowness; I replied that it was not in the nature of the wine and I added (unwisely) "just like yourself, Dear"; glassy stare, but hopefully no lasting damage done. When will I learn?
