Popped and poured, started off very rustic with gritty tannins and lots of barnyard and earthy notes. At some point it turned a corner and showed lots of bright red fruit and good acid structure. Fun wine, especially for the price.

alongside a burnt oz wine... could tell, so that refreshing ripe Syrah does excellent job.
Violets, cassis, all the nice Syrah stuff, a bit of lard and soot, very enjoyable after the little reduction funk :) hints of smoke, and oak... hints
palate is nice and juicy, approachable and easy, mid palate with soft tannins, good value wine, shows well what a great year does in lower and younger vines parcels... good winemaking on top of that !! serious entry level wine

Pas le meilleur ni le pire Syrah. J’attenderais 2023 pour ouvrir ma prochaine bouteille.
Mémorable? Non. Je ne pense pas en racheter. Je préfère mettre quelques dollars de plus pour un Crozes-Hermitage.
