Such a whack label for such an incredible wine. This is everything I want in a Syrah. From the bottom part of the famed Chaillot vineyard. So fragrant that I can't stop smelling. Violets, lavender, spice and dark fruit with bright acid. Elegant now and should only develop more if my instincts are correct.

A stony dryness predominates at first, then the wine softens slowly to reveal game, spice and forest floor. Great purity and typicity but still a few years away from prime drinking

Good, but not massively better than the Peyrouses, so minus a point for QPR. Still, this and Gonon are my Syrah Hipster Heroes
