PnP. Blackberry, plum, some black olive and meatiness. Pretty classic northern Rhone Syrah flavors, but in an early drinking style. Last tasted about two years ago, and this is drinking really well now. Drink now or over the next couple of years. Not sure this will get much better, but it's really good now.

On the nose: blueberry, plums, graphite, a little leather, and a Hungarian-style dry saucisson character plays backup singer.
On the palate: the fruit shines when it is confronted with Egyptian-style kofta and a salad dressed in a Dijon-balsamic vinaigrette, both of which it danced with effortlessly. Coats the palate elegantly.
Excellent food wine, but where’s the Syrah pepper?

My previous score, 3 years ago, was 86. It has developed enormously since then and is now and excellent, rich and tasty wine.

A fun and simple glass of Syrah, maybe lacking depth, but good value wine and good for now.

Pours a dark purple and paired with a cheeseburger.
On the nose: olive brine, smoked meat, violets. The aromas have a weight to them and suggest the wine is heavy.
On the palate: elegant and well balanced. Notes of plums, herbs, and grippy tannins. The finish is medium with a hint of pepperiness.
Very food friendly, great qpr from Faury!
