A more delicate expression of syrah. Purple flowers on the nose with a bit of game and pepper lingering behind. Good value but I still think some of this producer's wines don't quite go far enough...

Fruity. Less complex than what I think of northern Rhône Syrah. Not as strong notes of pepper olive or fat.

Deep bold flavour, hints of cherries and generally delightful. This Syrah that I tasted has no tanins which is great because it does not leave your mouth with any acid taste lingering.

Super wine. Super acidity, super aromas, super transparency, super texture. Super elegant and makes everyone else seem heavy and dull. Super-discovery.
