Inky dark, loaded with pepper and olive, game and earth. Divine. As if St Joseph and Cote Rotie had a baby.

Pretty funky, but good funky, and plenty of concentration and Northern Rhône Syrah character. A treat.

Big and meaty with lots of black fruit and a bit of gaminess. Powerful and intense.

Monolithic and maybe atypical, but a very decent glass.

Nose of blackberry and mulberry, game, violets, pepper, briny olives, savory herbs and some earthy funk. Palate shows bright fruit, mild spice, and backdrop of minerals. Not sure how it was upon release but drinking very well now and demonstrates freshness and balance. A nice and modestly framed Syrah

Nice glass. Carbonic Syrah can sometimes be misguided. This keeps the Syrah character and melds the carbonic freshness nicely.
