Shows how even the humblest, everyday wine from a great producer can sing unexpectedly after six years of age. This is just delicious, lighter bodied, floral Northern Rhone syrah. Yum!

An unblended Syrah wine from the granitic slopes of the Northern Rhône Valley (nearby Cornas and Saint-Peray). Aged in oak barrels for 8 months. Young purple-red color. Pretty nose with scents of sour cherries and some peppery accents. The taste is very youthful, with a solid tannic frame and a pronounced acidity, but also with an agreeable fruitiness. Drink now through 2011.
Een zuivere Syrah-wijn uit de noordelijke Rhône-vallei (omgeving Cornas en Saint-Peray – granietbodem). Rijpte 8 maanden op eik. Jonge purperrode kleur. Aangename neus (zure kers en wat pepertonen) en een nog zeer jeugdige smaak. Solide tanninestructuur met flink wat aciditeit, doch eveneens bijzonder fruitig. Nu te drinken tot 2011.
