Round and strong. The attack and the body of the wine put the Syrah in the spotlight in all its specificities: both intense and fresh, with aromatic notes of violets, black fruits, spices, black olives, menthol, and leather. The finish is developed without being really long, letting out some gourmet peppery and herbaceous notes. A very gourmet wine for meat eaters, or Syrah enthusiasts (including me). Requires 2 good hours of ventilation. 2 years in the cellar will perfectly calm this youthful ardor which is nevertheless very appreciable.

Rond et costaud. L’attaque et le corps du vin mettent la Syrah a l’honneur dans toutes ses spécificités: à la fois intense et fraîche, avec les notes aromatiques de violette, fruits noirs, épices, olives noires, menthol, et cuir. La finale est développée sans être vraiment longue, laissant ressortir des notes poivrées et herbacées. Un vin très gourmand pour les mangeurs de viande, où les adeptes de la Syrah (dont je suis). Nécessite 2 bonnes heures d’aération. 2 ans de cave assagirons à merveille cette fougue de jeunesse néanmoins fort appréciable — 4 years ago

I’m not sure where my previous note went.
Just when you thought you knew Italy, up pops this might as well be SwissFrench alpine darling from the Vallée D’Aoste.
Blanc de Morgex et de la salle. The town/village of Morgex lies just below Mt. Blanc. The Prié Blanc vines thrive in soil that has not known phylloxera.
Stones, herbs,and lemons all wrapped up in a rather electric pkg. I think drink young. Cold, the nose doesn’t have much to say past stone fruit, maybe rainier cherries.,But the palate is pow! Lemons, herbs, mineral, high acid and refreshing. With fried Branzino, perfect!
Always a sucker for high altitude Italian.
