Grilled meats, deep blackberry pie, blackrasberry, smoked pepper, and charcoal. Smooth, and brooding. Blueberry preserves. Sappy, but not sweet. Secondary dark chocolate layered on jerky, meaty notes. Masculine. Really enjoyable wine, very classic Syrah from Cornas. Purchased at the winery. Drink or hold. — 2 years ago
@Delectable Wine - this is 100% Syrah, not a blend.
Lively nose has loads of gravelly crushed granite, cured beef, peppercorns, and focused dark berry fruit. Lively in the mouth as well, medium bodied, with savory, clingy flavors, subtle soft tannin, and nicely-integrated acids. Beautiful balance. More fruit coming out on the palate as it airs. Great weeknight red. — 6 months ago
@Delectable Wine This is the Verlieu lieu dit. No where else can this be done. — 8 months ago
Smoothest French Syrah we’ve tried. Very balanced and jammy, flavors of dried cherries and raspberries. So so good — 3 years ago

Pleasant. Subtle cranberry fruit. Subtle tartness. Touch of sweet.
More enjoyable after it opened up.
