Very mediocre Syrah Although being a fan of the producer: Nothing special to mention on nose, palate, color. If this would have been 1/4 of price I would still have given the same scores.

Came in a wooden box of three bottles. Another Xavier, labeled "vin du france" but some magic inside. Needs some time to open up, at first I thought it to be a high alc fruit bomb but it got good over the time of the evening. Typical for old vines, I suppose (~70 years from what I have read). Give it some more time in the cellar or at least a good amount of air.

Nothing special for me. After one glass this wine is boring.
