2018 de Négoce Syrah OG N.140

Community Tasting Note

85 Points

Sunday, December 3, 2023 - Nose is pickled meat, feet, tapenade, sweet oak. Palate is briny, meaty, feety, cranberry. Medium acid and shortish finish. After an hour picks up some weight, but not much structure or depth.

Grilled a steak that completely overwhelmed this wine. My bad I guess, but Syrah is often a grilled steak pairing for us.

Fell apart into a metallic mess after 2-3 hours open. Never have I had a young wine fall apart this quickly.

    I have two more to see how it plays out.🤓

    Good to see you in the saddle again, Chris.
