A l'ouverture, il est un peu fermé. En bouche, des parfums agreables mais aussi un peu d'amertume. Apres un peu d'aération le vin s'exprime vraiment: une belle syrah avec une belle longueur. Les notes amères ont disparues. Très bien. 16/20

Deep black ruby heading to a garnet rim Appealing aromas of rotundone, dried lavender, Scottish heather alongside dark fruits. Medium to full body with plenty of succulent black cherry and blackberry flesh; rich textured, there is an attractive melange of lavender cream, light black pepper and sandalwood on the mid-palate. The wine has a beautiful precision with vivid acidity playing off the fruits and a dash of cayenne pepper, adding a heat tickle to the back palate—a well-balanced wine with firm powdery tannins lending structure, well integrated alcohol and a long finish.

Rich, roasted, round and berried. The fruit is quite sweet - it's in a good place at the moment.

Ripe, lots of sweet oak, soft textured, but a touch of funk gives it oomph. Lovely.
