The color would never lead you to believe that this wine was 23 years old.
A perfumed nose of violets and tobacco. Nice energy on the palate thanks to the lively acid levels. Dark cherry and plums in ample quantity.
Was constantly changing in the glass.

Tasted blind: thought it was a Côte Rotie. All syrah, mint, bacon. Very nice.

Tasted alongside the Cote Doree, this is also nearly 100% Syrah, this cuvée seems a tad cleaner aromatically, without the gamey/brett notes, but show lovely dried redfruits, a smoky note underneath, as well as what I perceive as roasted onion skin, this seems clearly mature and at peak now, long, lingering finish, also 12.5% ABV, lovely!!

Jun 23rd, 2024Syrah with a splash of Grenache, this is meatier than the Doree, very dark-fruited and rich, a tiny bit of Brett, but cleaner than the Doree, medium-long finish, really terrific!!
