Belle Syrah typique, fruité et poivré comme il se doit! Bonne texture en bouche. J'ai bien apprécié et à bien accompagné des burgers sur le BBQ! 86/100

Not sure what to make of this. Not bad at all, but I don't love it, and it has some problems.
The nose is very spicy, and its Syrah, it should be, but this is maybe a little too spicy. Probably because some of the perceived spice is alcohol heat.
The mouthfeel is deep and dark, with more earth and spice on the end, but there isn't quite enough fruit. With air, the wine didn't blossom, it kind of flattened out. Has some nice things goin on, but I'm not getting a reason to reach for my glass over and over.
Maybe just a little too young? (this vintage was released pretty recently)
Grade: Meh.
