A complete smoke show and unanimously the star of the flight. It’s no wonder the demand for these wines have skyrocketed. They are singular expressions with unmatched purity and character. The visual, nose and palate effortlessly command attention. Aromas and flavors unique from anything else in the Southern Rhône. The experience is a bit like going to a Billie Eilish concert with only basic knowledge of her music or persona, only to leave in awe because you just witnessed a once in a generation talent doing something undeniably special. Like Billie, a wine of character, authenticity and showmanship.

Meaty, smoky, dark-fruited Syrah, flavors show the meaty dark fruits, also some still solid structure, so youthful, this will outlast me, long, peppery, spicy, finish, another great Fonsalette “Cuvee Syrah”!! Wish I’d bought more!!
