Nice deep ruby. Definitely fine cool syrah, plenty both red and black fruits. Some flowery notes, some white pepper. Good savoury taste. Very pleasant but lacking real depth and concentration. Suspect it was at its best a year or two ago.

Rich syrah well promsing at the opening with intense scents of ripe red fruit. At the taste spicy fruit and some gentle oak. Falls short in the final. Intreresting but. Would expect more.

Tries hard to be a cote rotie copy but doesnt quite make it. Nice bloody red fruits though with some depth. Still youthful.

Delicious. Secondary, savory flavors with some smoke. Showing very well. Meaty, perfect with olives and smokey grilled chicken.

Meaty Syrah. Glossy red fruits, game and a touch of bacon. Very Cote Rotie in style and class.
