Excellent example of a northern #Rhône #syrah deep ruby color still youthful, six years after vintage. on the nose, leather black pepper, plum, tart, red cherry, some dark chocolate notes, toast. on the pallet full-bodied, medium+ acidity for fine slightly green tannins finishes long, but I find it a little bit grippy and coarse and bitter, so if it were a little bit smoother and juicy. I would give it a higher score.

Took a while to open, but once it did it was wonderful. A bold, intense wine

Good memories of a trip to the northern Rhône - and Restaurant Pic - a great years ago. Nose of olive and smoke. Tightly wound at first, but fleshed our after 2 hours in a decanter. Dark fruit, smoke, fresh.

Perfumed leather, cinnamon, black pepper.

Medium to full bodied. Beautiful structure. Nice, round balance of tannins at the end.

Great for steak night. Porterhouse, lesgo.

Woah, I'm not in Bordeaux anymore. Super concentrated. Pepper, spicy, meaty, smokey! a bit of brett may be in harmony with Syrah here

Earthy, smoky, spicy. Really nice! Smooth tannins and a wonderful lingering finish.
