Grande Reserve Faugères Syrah Blend 2010
Valambelle's Grand Reserve goes from strength to strength. A phenomenal wine with concentration, elegance and finesse. Syrah dominant with 10% each of Grenache and Mauvèdre this drinks well now but will continue to develop until 2030 and beyond! — 9 years ago

Funny story part 3. This is the wine my wife and I served to our guests during our wedding 7 years ago. I thought we had got rid of all the bottles but it turns out 3 remained for 7 years hidden in my wife's room at her parents'.
The nose shows some aging, including wet forest soil and mushrooms. There's a tiny bit of red fruits and a black pepper too. The palate is not bad though, there is still a massive acid backbone, a big bright red and black fruit all along, even to a sweet point, some tannins in the rear before rather long finish with fruit, that sweet touch and a bitter touch that seems to be due to aging. On the down slope but still enjoyable as is. And a good souvenir of a very good moment with family and friends. — 3 years ago
