Nose is juicy fruit gum and alcohol. Mouth is mostly the same with some odd funkiness. Acidity and alcohol both too high to drink alone, but nice with an avocado and smoked trout salad. Pretty forgettable.

100% Syrah, saignee method. Dark color. Nose is gamey--thought there'd be mourvedre in this for sure. Plums, pepper, cassis, herbs. Mouth is smooth, more pepper, great balance. Certainly doesn't taste like 14.5% alcohol, but feels like it! Nicely made.

A great simpler dessert wine, and definitely plenty of life left. Not a lot of complexity, but lots of charm.
