Dark red, very perfumed nose of violet, olives, spices, black pepper, tobacco & grilled meat after more time in the glass, young but delicious, medium bodied, 12.5% alc only, traditional & classic, excellent wine!

This is a general note over 6 bottles. Love love Neil Rosenthal wines and these did not disappoint. Very classic French Syrah. Wanted to save a few to see how they aged beyond 6 years but couldn't do it. Highly recommended but/and very traditional.

Very nice wine. Dark fruit but the dominant characteristic on the nose is leather and on the palate is black pepper. An underlying minerality lingers on the long finish. Very smooth.
