  Pretty classic northern syrah. Nose violet, blueberry, black pepper, bacon fat, lavender. Palate nicely balanced, impressive acid, incredible freshness for age/aoc, mineral structure, herbal notes.

  Deep ruby. Mulberry and blackberry fruit with raspberry top notes alongside a pinch of white pepper. Nicely resolved on the attack, smooth mid red fruit, mid weight with good acidity and a fine, plush core of fruit. Decent length. Elegant. This is pretty decent. ***1/2

  Medium ruby colour. The nose is clean and developing, displaying medium+ intensity aromas of white pepper, blackberry, dark plums, thym and hints of lavender.
  
  The wine is dry in the mouth with a high nervy acidity. It has medium+ fine-grained tannins and a medium+ alcohol. It has a medium+ body and medium+ intensity flavours. The finish is medium+.
  
  It is a very good quality wine. The alcohol is well-balanced by the tannins supporter by the fruit concentration, albeit it has an acid edge that is a bit out of balance despite providing freshness. The finish is persistent and it has a nice flavour concentration, on the other hand it is nor particularly complex.

  A style I love, but this was a bit light. 13%

  Bright red. Coffee bean, red fruit and earth. Delicious with a soft finish. Never fades, a very nice Syrah. Surprising.
