Clos de Gat

Har'El Syrah 2016

SyrahSession#2Wine#4
Garnet-tiled, murky, deep dress.Clos de Gat is an area of Judea in Israel. With two hours of aeration, the primary notes, generous very ripe and animal fruits mix well with the notes of aging and spices. We are not far from a Cornas or other wine from the North Rhône with the intensity of the Israeli sun. The notes of evolution go perfectly with the bouquet.

Robe Grenat-tuilé, trouble, profonde.
Clos de Gat est un domaine de Judée en Israël. Avec deux heures d’aération, les notes primaires, généreuses fruits très mûrs et animales se mêlent bien aux notes d’élevage et d’épices. On est pas loin d’un Cornas ou autre vin du Rhône Nord avec l’intensité du soleil d’Israel. Les notes d’évolution se marient à merveille au bouquet.

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Hermitage Syrah 2013


Decanted only 90 minutes, would have needed at least twice that. Aromas show a meaty side to start with, menthol, moving and getting more complex and aromatic with white pepper, dark fruits violets and herbs. The palate is powerful, full and dense, deep with lots of class, good length and with tannins that are not yet tamed and show a touch of rusticity and youth. A great bottle but a great bottle to be mostly, still needs 4-5 years. 93-94


Carafé 90 minutes seulement, aurait eu besoin du double au moins. Nez animal, viandeux un peu au départ, menthol, qui se complexifie et bonifie avec du poivre blanc, fruits noirs, des herbes et de la violette. Une bouche puissante, beaucoup de profondeur et de classe tout en ayant des tannins encore un peu sauvages et pas tout a fait domptés, belle longueur. Un grand vin, mais surtout un grand vin en devenir, a besoin de 4-5 ans encore au minimum. 93-94

Domaine Belluard

Terroir du Mont-Blanc Mondeuse 2014

Still lots of exuberant red and purple fruit, white pepper, woodsy tones, violets, some animal and herbaceous highlights. Continue to love following this wine as it ages. Structurally seems in a great place, not sure how much it will improve — 2 years ago

I Pentri

Kerres Beneventano IGT Piedirosso 2006

Gorgeous, brooding, mineral-driven. The nose was a combination of animal and mineral that made it smell like blood (in a good way). Dark, crunchy fruit on the palate, smooth, savory, lively acidity, great balance, and a medium finish. — 5 years ago

Equis

Equinoxe Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2017

Meaty, peppery, animal nose, with a palate of cherry and black peppercorns. Slightly gravelly. Smooth tannins, and long finish. — 5 years ago

Domaine Gourt de Mautens (Jérôme Bressy)

Rasteau Red Rhone Blend 2001

Austere at first, thought maybe the fruit was gone but just needed an hour of air. Consider drinking soonish though. Tastes like lots of Grenache and lots of whole clusters. Leads with leather, animal, dried herbs, coffee grounds and eventually dark red cherries in syrup and cinnamon red hots enter the mix. Clearly from warmer southerly / mediterranean climes but there is still a sense of freshness and acidity here — 6 years ago

Domaine Chamonard

Le Clos de Lys Morgon Gamay 2012

Berry jam, spice and rose petals on the nose, bit of something animal. On the palate the bright carbonic fruit still popping, with a beautiful floral and bitter stem finish that would accompany a lot of different food pairing options — 4 years ago

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2012

Number One wine of a five wine blind tasting with 5 different grape varieties.

What a beautiful wine. The nose is complex, elegant with violets, white pepper and some animal and slightly meaty scent. The wine is gorgeous, powerful, complex, dark fruit that is lush and velvety silky tannins on a tremendous finish. 93-94

Premier vin facilement lors d’une dégustation à l’aveugle de cinq cépages à la maison.

Un nez complexe et magnifique de violettes, poivre blanc, touche animale et viandeuse. Une bouche complexe aussi mais tellement avenante, puissante mais gourmande et généreuse avec une superbe texture, belle longue finale. 93-94

@Benoit Duhamel oui effectivement, le “line-up” était “moyen”, le but de comparer et découvrir les cépages à l’aveugle, on a eu 5/5. Le Jamet l’a emporté facilement. Pour la prochaine, le “line-up” va être plus solide. Haha!
