Foursquare, classic N Rhone Syrah. Not overly complex but very enjoyable with dark fruits, a hint of green olive and some grainy back-end tannins. Drink this with red meat if at all possible.

Note being written on night 3 after PnP. Rich, focused, floral, and with a great vibrancy. Drink now or hold for at least 5 years.

Benchmark. Scoffs in the face of all cotes du Rhone this side of Tavel. Annual value pick.

Great earthy fruity red, just showing signs of development, silky, unctuous yet balanced.

Gorgeous inky dark layers of ripe balanced fruit and tarry earthiness. Yum!
