Silice Saint Joseph Syrah

Vintage 2018 | Pop and pour pleasure with expressive fruit and round quaffable taste | paired with a salad and pasta carbonara

2016 vintage. Absolutely delicious, juicy black fruit, violets, subtle spices and ripe tannin. Lovely.

Fantastic. Great balance. Loads of pepper. Elegant.

Crunchy blackberries and blackcurrants meet crushed slate.

Elegant Syrah. The 15's are very good.

Bigger and meatier than expected. Brooding dark cherry aromas with game meats and pencil shavings.

Deep dark red syrah. Liked it.

Medium-bodied, on the lean side of meaty and bramble in a good way

Very closed when opened. Olives and cured meat on the nose. Initially shows some decent acidity and lighter notes but gets dominated with tar and dark fruit and meatiness. Light on the tannins. A rich Syrah. It may open up more in the coming hours.

Some sips were better than others. My score assumes it will improve with time.
