Cuvée Violette Syrah 2021

After a 1 hour decant this was a wonderful, well-balanced Syrah. It paired very well with a pork tenderloin. — 4 months ago

Les Perlines Valais Syrah 2020

SyrahSession#2Wine#1
Ruby, Violin, translucent and vibrant color. Gilliard is a Swiss domain in Valais. Cuvée honoring the fruit. Seductive nose on the freshness of youthful Syrahs: violet, lupine, blueberry and mountain berries... with aeration, pepper imposes itself along the entire length of the palate carrying a loose body without looking like it. The acidity is lively and brings charm to this tasting. The winemaking is fine and controlled. Northern expression of the syrah full of nuances, with contained strength.

Robe Rubis, Violine, translucide et éclatante.
Gilliard est un domaine Suisse du Valais. Cuvée mettant le fruit à l’honneur. Nez séduisant sur la fraicheur des Syrah de jeunesse: violette, lupin, myrtille et baies des montages.. avec l’aération le poivre s’impose sur toute la longueur du palais portant
un corps ample sans en avoir l’air. L’acidité est vive et apporte du charme à cette dégustation. La vinification est fine et maîtrisée. Expression septentrionale de la syrah tout en nuances, avec une force contenue.

La Rosine Syrah 2020

Between Notes of red and black fruits, spices and generous floral notes. Evocation of violet, pepper, apricot (viognier contribution). Balance and charming in the style of the beautiful expressions of a Crozes Hermitage. Very beautiful Syrah typical of the Rhone-Nord. Unfailing price/pleasure ratio.

Entre notes de fruits rouges et noirs, épices et notes florales généreuses. Évocation de la violette, du poivre, de l’abricot (apport du viognier). Équilibre et gourmandise dans le style des belles expressions d’un Crozes Hermitage. Très belle Syrah typique du Rhone-Nord. Rapport prix/plaisir infaillible.

Château Montviel

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

2020 vintage. Owned by Henri Parent, son of the late Catherine Perré-Vergé. Other Pomerol properties include Le Gay and La Violette. Concentrated rather dark fruit in a powerful ripe tannic structure. The high alcohol (abv. 15,5%) is perfectly integrated. Slightly monolithic at this stage, but very promising. — 5 months ago

Les Meandres Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2020

Black fruit colour, garnet reflections, dense, beautiful brilliance. Open nose inviting on the aromas of syrah in its noblest expression: basket of crunchy red and black fruits, floral notes of violet, pepper, smoked bacon, animal notes, graphite, charcoal...
In the mouth the attack is fresh and fruity, the body develops in a straight and virile way. The final extends this masculine and spicy character, nuanced by voluptuous floral fragrances (viognier?) Drunk a bit too young at the sight of the beast's potential.

Robe fruits noirs, reflets grenat, dense, bel éclat. Nez ouvert invitant sur les arômes de la syrah dans son expression la plus noble: panier de fruits rouges et noirs croquants, notes florales de violette, poivre, lard fumé, notes animales, graphite, charbon..
En bouche l’attaque est fraîche et fruitée, le corps se développe de manière droite et viril. La finale prolonge ce caractère masculin et épicé, nuancé par des fragrances florales voluptueuses (viognier?) Bu un poil jeune aux vues du potentiel de la bête.
