This has aged really well and was a perfect match with the Christmas turkey. Lovely and rich, with a nice fatness on the palate and a good streak of minerality.

A really good showing for this wine tonight. Smoky, spicy and gamey on the nose leading on to a palate that was full of intense fruit with a liquorice undertone all done with with plenty of finese, as Syrah should be! This is fine wine and great value hermitage! Plenty of life in it 5-10 years I think.

Very nicely developed, savoury with good complexity, light for a Las Cases but a very nice finish, actually worked well with Turkey!
