Nice dark color. Spicy, slightly menthol nose with dark plum elements. Cool, slightly bitter dark plum flavors with a spicy, alcoholic finish. A mid-weight that needs food to shine.

Nez un peu oxydatif, résine et médicament, pas très charmeur. Bouche assez riche avec une touche presque sucrée qui laisserait croire à un apport de grenache (il est pourtant 100% syrah). La texture est agréable et l'ensemble d'une très belle fraicheur mais le profil aromatique m'a semblé un peu trop résineux ce soir là.

a somptuous bottle of wine. A great syrah with all the qualities that one would want in a bottle. Wonderful nose of dark berries, and spice, equally dark colors. Impressive richness of texture, very dark ripe fruit, along with suave lingering finish. I would recommend decanting a couple of hours prior to drinking. Delicious!
