  Red and black fruits. Notes of leather, spices and hint of beautiful salinity. Well balanced, excellent grip and lovely finish.

  2008 L'Ermite
  100% Syrah
  Tobacco, Anise, dusty, plum
  Strong dark fruits, still tannic with some time to go. Opening up nicely in glass but with a little heat coming through as the wine warmed.
  Finish is incredible.

  Medium garnet. Pronounced nose of rhubarb and leather. On the palate earth, plums, white pepper. Long finish. Clearly a well made wine, maybe a little too primary right now. Should continue to improve.

  Sampled from Coravin + an hour to air in the glass. Clearly has a ton of character but just way too young - sharp acidity and very very tight. Maybe try again in 5 years.

  Really good back bone of tannins and fruit. Very elegant yet powerful wine. Nose of pepper, violets.
  Paired beautifully with a rare steak.
