Dark, earthy, violets, gamey, black raspberries, cassis. Tannins are a tad bitter, so this 2016 needs a bit more time. Loving the slightly feral quality here, rough edges and all.

I’m surprised others on delectable seem to really like this CdR. This 2015 version was rather soft and lacking character. Break! I upgraded from 8.5 to 9.0 after a glancing sip on day 4. Good acidity has developed and the blueberry cake is retreating.

I just popped open, need to revisit & maybe drink another 6 bottles or so.... Always a winner and awesome price.

An unusual 100% Syrah CDR, but barnyard stinky, hazy and delicious

Day 1: Inital impressions are that it's a little more primary than last vintage. Pronounced fruit framed by secondaries. Day 2: violets, wild blackberries, ash, olive, bay leaf, rocks. Mouth filling and so easy to drink. Crumbly tannins. A little more straightforward than last vintage.

Damn tasty. Syrah CdR from Northern Rhône. "Baby Cornas" - funk, black olive, juicy black fruit. Highly accessible and dangerously drinkable. Thanks @Laura Maniec!!
