Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet (Hervé Souhaut)
Sainte Epine Syrah
Emotional roller coaster, this. Phenomenal showing out of the gate with an alluring bouquet of violets, cracked pepper, wild raspberries and game, lively on the palate with dark berries and a pleasant almost effervescent tingle. Unfortunately after about an hour of air a pronounced yeastiness took over almost completely. Not sure if that is typical but a rather pricey disappointment
