  Dark crimson. No signs of brownish colour yet. Medium bodied, good structure, a bit flat on the palate. Medium long finish. Not very impressive but good quality for the price

  coravin，第一次，偏酸，品种气味，但是不充沛。口中也类似。第二次，气味，口感和谐了。整体比较light。类似pinot。

  I'm so glad I opened this with the Faurie as it shows how special the wines are that Eric is making from this site. It's easily identifiable as Northern Rhône Syrah. There is a distinct chalkiness type thing that goes on with this wine. It makes it a bit more lifted and piercing than granite or other bedrock sites. I think that's what makes it so distinctive, unlike any other Northern Rhône Syrah I can think of while at the same time it couldn't be from anywhere else. There is dark cocoa and leather with savory herbs and a touch of smoke that envelops the dark berry fruit. The tannins are fine but building and give that chalky sense mentioned previously. I wish I had another half case at least because I think this is still not at plateau.

  Dense, dark fruits, massive. Still plenty of room for improvement. Unusual, as most Northern Rhônes have reached a plateau by 11 years of age. Cellared since original release.

  Ignoring my own advice from last year that this wine needs 5-10 years, I decided to open a bottle and decant it for an hour or so before drinking. That smoothes the texture although there is still plenty of tannin here. The fruit is mineral and blue, of excellent quality. I still say hold it, if you have it. Cellared since original release.
