Bright and vibrant nose, which has wonderful red berry and lilac floral undertones. With air, a leathery, gamey aspect begins to come through. The palate has that same lively aspect, with bright acidity and ripe red fruits. The peppery, darker, syrah character really reveals itself on the finish.

Very nice dark ruby color but yet somewhat transparent. Nice aromas of blackberries and lilac. Good balance and acidity on the palate with the same tastes as the aromas. Medium body but somewhat hollow in the back end. Good length and pleasant finish. Good for easy drinking without food. I tried it with the Brix milk chocolate, heaven! Fascinating pairing because of the low tannin profile, nice acidity of the wine and delicious fruit.

Similar to previous Pic St Loups I’ve tasted. Smells like salt flats, tastes alright.

Light oak and licorice nose. Sassafras and cassis components on the palate. Smooth but light finish, a little high on the residual alcohol.
