Belle interprétation de syrah de climat chaud. Pruneau et fruits noirs, avec une finale un peu viandeuse et poivrée tout de même. Texture un peu « soft » qui pourrait avoir un peu plus de tonus. Très facile à aimer. Les tannins sont très murs et doux.

Oh, this wine is nowhere near what it once was. The fruit is almost gone. Structure and acidity is there but the fruit to back it up has gone. Too bad...

Had my last bottle today. Still maintain that it has some Rhone wine features, more on the rich side. Chateauneuf du Pape? Smooth and long, dark berries, smoothed tannins. Had it with papet vaudois (which classically goes with white chasselas) and a rustic cheese plate. Too bad it was the last bottle!

Lourd, riche, alcooleux. Arômes de pruneaux séchées. Pas mon style.

Still fairly powerful, blackberry coco powder and some pepper. Good acidity and tannic grip. Quite enjoyable
