A bit reduced initially, then nose shows up with ripe black fruits, blackcurrants and black berries, some tar notes also. Needs 1h aeration. Rich nose announcying a smooth and ripe palate, on the same notes of ripe black fruits. Tannins are bien fondus. Nice Syrah from North Rhone, on a rich side.

Negrette more

1/17/2024 - Marius Cavasdan wrote: 89 points

a fresh and still tannic Negrette, even after 11 years. Deep ruby color, typical of the variety. Nose has some bloody character, could lead to a Syrah in a blind tasting. Notes of oak, although nicely integrated. Palate is fresh and with present tannins. Nice wine that drinks young.

Young color. Deep ruby red. Nose opens up. Cerise griottes. Some blueberries and leather notes. Palate has a refreshing acidity. Tannins wise it's smooth. Good length. Drinks perfectly now, but based on the color and acidity it can age for some years without difficulty.
If there is a bad note, it is about the crazy and useless heavy bottle....:(

Expressive nose. Very Chenin on the nose. Floral, peaches and white fruits. The palate is rich, but with good minerality. Same peaches, some almonds. The generosity of the Grenache, but finishes long and fresh. A delicious wine.
