I like what the winery was doing in '06. This Syrah was rich, deep and smooth, drinking nicely right now but with some years left. Not an overly powerful wine but everything is in the right place.

Dégustation Chassagne Caillerets 2017 (Île Bizarre): Nez de violettes, syrah, ça pourrait être une Côte rôtie (ou Cayuse vu le porteur Bertrand?). La bouche est dense, avec une certaine vigueur et de la profondeur. Excellent et en pleine forme, rien de presse! 92-93 pts

La Tablee: Rayas Dinner with Gregory Castells & Martine Saunier (La Mercerie): Fun to try one of the rarer wines from the estate. We don't often do the Syrah and yet it is a tasty one. This was still on the young side. Perhaps a bit more alcohol. From a vineyard with sandstone, rocks, and sandy soil which is quite cold and allows for a very long hang time on the vines. It's interesting how very light and elegant a Syrah can get and this wine always shows that.

Sans doute le plus atypique vin d’Emmanuel Reynaud, si on oublie ses essais avec le merlot. Nez sudiste, de fruit noir, avec le côté floral du cépage. Le vin est très savoureux, sur un fruit mûr aux accents sudiste, qui rappelle davantage Châteauneuf que le Rhône nord. Belle finesse, équilibre, une complexité admirable. 92-93 pts

This intense aromas on the nose, fine like the spice market in Dubai, smell of crushed pepper, rich lush wild forest berries, meaty, really deep on the midpalate, fresh with still some grainy tannin, ending long+ impressive with a stunning finesse, with some slow ox or an one+ hour decant enjoy from now on and over the next decade+, ***(*-?), 93+ potential
