A bunch of Syrahs on a Saturday Afternoon: Ruby/purple. Some funk on the nose. Nice black raspberries and slight black pepper. Nice full texture. Black raspberry fruit on the palate. Slight heat on the finish. Still with time left, but not as much complexity as the Chave.

Nicely balanced Syrah. Fig, smoke, and some floral notes on the nose. Blueberry fruit on the palate, which is rich and silky smooth. Acid is low to medium. Tannins are soft. Finish is medium long and slightly drying. This is drinking extremely well right now.

Black purple core; plenty of life left in this wine and would probably cellar additional bottles at least another year and maybe more. Bouquet of floral musk with hint of stems and garrigue. More stems (oaky sensation) on palate, along with mediterranean spice and herbs and some red berry.

À la Gaudriole, très bon malgré léger manque d'acidité. Gourmand, prêt.
