Appearance: Deep ruby Nose: Med plus intensity, chocolate, black olive, prosciutto, tobacco, yangmei, blueberry, red plum, developing. Palate: Dry, high acidity, med+ tannins (silky), med+ alcohol, med+ body, med intensity, med+ finish. Overall, good wine. The wine has more complexity on the nose than on the palate. The wine is well balance.

In der Nase Oliventapenade, Veilchen und kräuterige Noten, Rauch und gegrilltes Fleisch, Pfeffer. Am Gaumen mit dichter roter und blauer Frucht, Pfeffer, würzig und mineralisch, salzig, langer Abgang. Hochwertiges Holz, alles poliert und ziemlich geschliffen, aber im Kern ein klassischer Syrah von Cuilleron. Braucht sicher noch ein paar Jahre, hat aber echtes Potential.

Olives, pepper, lavender on the nose. Medium bodied with terrific balance and good acidity. Better with food (I paired it with a rich pesto and tortellini). There is some pepper on the palate in addition to dark fruits. Medium finish.

Opened for 30 minutes then a quick decant before drinking. Luscious. I tend to go for more restrained syrahs but found this to be a well delivered balance with tons of ripe fruit (=my wife liked it) and enough structure/acidity to satisfy my taste
Great value at around 40$

On the nose, black cherry, tobacco and superior rubber tire.
Good and lasting structure on the palate, and with longueur.
Not perhaps the most subtle of wines, but nonetheless with an integrity that belongs to Northern Rhone.
