  Elegant and delicious. Fruit forward, with a hint of cedar. I could have mistaken this for a slightly voluptuous St. Julien.

  Encore surpris par cette Petite Syrah qui au premier abord rappelle plus un assemblage bordelais qu’une Syrah archétype du Rhône nord telle que je les imagine.
  
  Robe sombre, peu de signes d’évolution.
  Aromatique « sombre », fruits noirs, cerise, un côté chocolaté, fumé et c’est peut être ce qui rappelle le plus une Syrah entre deux âges. La texture est encore un peu sérieuse, distinguée mais pas trop, on sent que le vin en a encore en réserve. En l’état c’est plutôt à placer à table qu’en dégustation pure. J’ai apprécié, mais je n’ai pas été bouleversifié dans mes convictions comme j’ai pu l’être avec le Mourvèdre. Madame Blog sans surprise a beaucoup apprécié ce côté classique et bien élevé, mais pas trop.

  Often I find petite sirah to be ponderous. This was anything but….
  You feel the weight of the grape, but still very light on its feet. Like Bootsy Collins on the bass. Plum and plum skin, dusty, a bit stemmy/green, white pepper. Great lift on the long finish from a jolt of acidity.
  Noticeably better on tbe second day as it opened up.

  Great depth but also a real lightness of touch. Fabulous wine.
