Northern Rhone theme at Empire: Very elegant for a Syrah. Lighter in body with pretty red fruit, punches above its appellation. A crowd favourite tonight but lacked a little structure for me.

So lovely and elegant. This is a wine with so much depth and yet is light on its feet. A nose of violets, olive and hints of bacon fat. Beautiful acidity and integrated tannins. An incredibly long finish.

Intéressante Syrah en AOC Côtes-du-Rhône. Matière noble. Boisé bien présent, légère sensation d'alcool, tanins charnus de grain moyen et légèrement asséchant. L'acidité nous semble un peu juste. Meilleur légèrement rafraîchit, il se présente alors charmeur. Trame d'herbes aromatiques/garrigues qui rappelle le Languedoc. Assurément intéressant. Peut-être gagnera-t-il avec le temps? 87-88

This was great. Meaty, dark fruits, nice tannins. Seems very similar in quality to the Cornas, but with a nice discount for not having that word on the label. I will definitely go with this cuvee in the future!
