Chateau de Fonsalette
Réservé Côtes du Rhône Syrah
The ultra rare Cuvée Syrah from Fonsalette and Château Rayas. And here, from the excellent 2004 vintage for Southern Rhône. Rich, intense and still quite youthful. Not all stewy like you can sometimes have with the Grenache. Black raspberries, kirsch cherry liquor, roasted herbs, animale, firm tannins and balanced acidity. Finishes with excellent length and tension.
