  Medium purple. Expressive aromas of violets, licorice, red plum and pepper. Light bodied, with mild acids and tannins. Not a great sipper on its own. Better with food.

  Beautiful Syrah that was ready to drink. Nice dark fruits with pepper, herbs and tapenade on the nose. Palate was med body with lots of acidity and very well integrated tannins. Long fruity, savory finish. Highly recommend. 2014s are ready to drink, not going to get any better than now.

  Intéressant.
  Un nez très poivré, un peu monolithique au départ, un peu évolué, à mon sens très rhodanien (nord) légèrement animal, épicé.
  En bouche, beaucoup de finesse, une belle fraicheur, le vin est hyperséduisant, tout en restant classique (pas moderne clinquant). On sent un peu de bois, les épices, du fumé, des notes cuirées, un léger fruité type mûre, en nuances, sans ostentation. L'acidité est délicate, et vient soutenir la rondeur souple du milieu de bouche.
  Inmanquablement, cela m'évoque Gonon, mais avec moins de corps, avec ce côté bourguignon de la structure à mille lieu de toute luxuriance.

  Medium dark, very nice floral dark red fruit, medium body, quite elegant, well done for the vintage.

  Great Syrah, from the homeland. Rich, flavorful, delicious. Very balanced, big fruit with appropriate acidity and solid but resolved tannins. Flavors iinger long time ... black tongue in the end.
  
  A Kermit Lynch offering, I always find his stuff to be worth a try. Possibly a slight bit of fizzy on opening indicating "natural" or maybe low sulfites?
  
  This bottle is underrated so far, I think. It is brilliant in how perfectly it works and how "unremarkable" (nothing out of place) it is. Easy drinking yet complex and rewarding Syrah, not the challenge of a Cotes Rotie.
