  Never heard of this domaine before, got interested cause of the for Rhone wines quiet low ABV (13%), should be no blend, 100% Syrah, very savoury nose of earthy tones, mineralic hints and concentrated black cassis, needs some aeration to show more, tar, spicy peppery, but all the way more on the austere side of Rhone, no way like one of this sweet fruit blockbusters, would say needs at least some 5+ years to get more balance, now showing a biting acid in the long aftertaste, wait, *(**-****-?), 91,92(+?) potential

  Earth, herbs, smoke, thyme and dark red berries are in the right place. Luscious, silky and fresh, the wine is full bodied, sweet and spicy, with lift and elegance in the finish. Give this just a few years and it will show even better.
