Caprice du Valentin Crozes-Hermitage Syrah

Young. A little lean & mean.

Chocolatey. Dark fruit. Spicey. This could be too heavy, but a nice beam of minerality and acid comes to the rescue. Combines power with lift.

Stemmy, jammy hot and alcoholic. Down the sink with this swill

Solid Crozes. Rich and spicey. Big but also balanced. Decent acidity. Went well with roast lamb and Duck fat potatoes.
