In a great place right now. Golden hue in color - notes of perfectly ripened apples, a little toastiness and some secondary notes. Fresh and focused and a long finish. Elegance personified in a glass of champagne. Wonderful pairing with fluke crudo, pan roasted sablefish, seared scallops and cod.
Held this bottle for 10 years and we savored every sip of it.

From the humble appellation of Corbieres, this Syrah just hits all the right notes- dark fruited with good Syrah characteristics: polished texture and great balance, and a smile on my face for a $18/btl of red that can be served with a range of foods or sipped on by itself. Has the stuffing to age a few years or pop and pour today with no regrets. That is a versatile wine.

Nice Chablis with very good salinity and verve. The yellow fruit came out more the second day so some decanting is recommended.
