Still lively fruit on the palate, and present tannins, but the nose is mostly tobacco, dirt and mushroom.

Took a while to open but worth it. Chalky but still some dark fruit and fairly lush.

This was the opposite of the Guigal in that it was a wild child. Voluptuous,a little dirty , exotic and spicy. I was very pleased that despite the high alcohol it was held in check. A much better showing than my previous bottle in Oct '16.

A stunning red with powerfull backbone, Syrah from a hot area but not jammy delicious acid finish, a winner.
