Community Tasting Note

• Eric Becker Likes this wine: 90 points

  August 25, 2019 - We found this little gem at restaurant Brasserie in Trier. Dark, inky yet with a nice shine. In the nose this is typically northern rhone syrah with a precise expression of sweet dark fruits, violets and barnyard. As JM Madtown has commented this indeed started with a slight corkiness, which quickly blew off. In the mouth the wine has still something brooding about it. The tannins are not fully resolved, yet they are not distracting either. And the sweet fruit needed about an hour of air to come on display. Not terribly complex. This is a nicely proportioned, elegantly restrained syrah as you would expect from the northern rhone. Seemingly in a transition phase and with some upside to expect in 2 to 3 years. 90+
