Comes off more like a southern Rhône Syrah than something from Côte-Rôtie. Ripe blackcurrant and fresh violets with a rather sleek frame. It lacks the combo of meat, spice, tapenade, and animale that you often find in this area.

Starts off a bit awkward with a rubbery smell and vegetal overtone, however with time in the glass opens to more bacon fat, seared vegetables, tar, and earth. Soft on the mouth with silky tannins.

Dusty & meaty - a hearty wine for the winter, and a value at that!

Cut straw and barnyard funk with an acidic vein - probably at its peak - very thin body - a joy to drink this raw Syrah
