Initially very bright and vibrant, all Burgundian acidity, and enjoyably so. Within an hour there is a personality change, to something darker, smokey and meaty, with a tasty and very tannic finish. I come to like 2002 in the Northern Rhone - there is a leaner aspect that I appreciate. vg

Robe claire, etonnante. Je ne m'attendais pas à cette couleur claire et légèrement tuilée. Le nez explose, truffe, notes de fumée, notes florale, puis des fruits rouges quand même. L'attaque en bouche est douce, souple. Le vin est fondu, délicieux, tout en délicatesse. Vive la syrah quand elle est comme ça, toute en finesse !

Youthful colour. Nice nose. Very savoury, full of meat and leather. Medium bodied, and a satisfying peppery finish. Fully open. vg+
