Crozes-Hermitage Syrah

Blind tasting no5. And I royally effed this up. Fought bitterly about Syrah and reluctantly settled on a young left bank Bordeaux. So far off…

Slightly cloud and dull purple colors should have led me away from anything with Cab. Heavy extraction and moderate intense nose of blueberry muffins. (Spice, vanilla, blue fruit.) Also strong talcum and baby powder. Dry with lower tannins and only medium acidity. Quite full body. Baked fruits and baking spices, with chalk and a looonnng finish. Bordeaux? I’m an idiot.

At Zebulon in 2e, Paris.

100% Syrah. Jammy, peppery, deep purple in color, full bodied. Nice with BBQ.

pepper, black currants, well balanced.

Coupe Club February 2022

Flavourful with undertones of berries. Nice.

Excellent and affordable, K&L

This really needs about an hour to open up. Blackberry, blueberry, cassis notes. Enjoyable on its own. Medium-bodied.

with inocchi

Inky black color. Nice blackberry fruit showing peppery spice and deep tannins. Nice stuff.
