April 11, 2024 - Slightly over extracted for my taste, but lacking in the overt Syrah character that I dislike. This well balanced young Syrah comes across as a great, ready to drink young red wine. Well balanced. No single element stands out.

March 25, 2024 - Dyp tett rød med rubinkant.
Herlig friske røde og mørke bær, noe lær, dybde og kompleksitet. Dette lover balanse!
Nydelig i munnen med flott, men ikke aggressiv, struktur. Best etter 2 dager hvor den åpner seg opp. Super syre og veldig flott fruktkonsentrasjon. Dette var eleganse!1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 23, 2024 - Two-hour decant. Pitch black-ruby color, brightly toned with a thin garnet edge. Classic aromas of black raspberry & cherry, mesquite char, fresh rosemary & lavender, beef broth and cracked pepper. Cool-toned red fruit and succulent blackberry on the palate, with seamless secondary depth of bay leaf, black tea, smoked cedar, paprika and black pepper. Medium bodied with refined edges and fleshy plush density firmed up with taut integrated acid and broad smooth tannins, finishing with moderately long notes of black fruit zest and savory herbs and florals. Classy, showing great, decanting recommended. Graillot CH is always so good to open young, this is no exception and over-performed expectations.

February 29, 2024 - Wonderful dense syrah that started out richly fruited but became much more savory with about an hour of air. Good now, should improve.

Vilt, Biff, alors mitonnez un bon petit plat en sauce comme une daube aux olives ou une viande de goût comme du pigeon, And, Andebryst, apéritif si vous voulez directement commencer au rouge avec des fines lamelles de magret fumé ou de la viande des Grisons. Vous pouvez également jouer avec les notes de tapenade et pourquoi pas préparer des petits gressins avec de la tapenade d’olive noir, c’est un belle côte de bœuf et une mignonette de poivre. Si vous vous sentez au top et que vous avez enfilé votre tablier, du chevreuil ou de la biche. Pour un brin d'originalité, Elg, et là c'est un billet sans escale pour MarseilleWho Likes This Wine
