Excellent freshness and acidity from this vintage, displaying a lot of evolution over the hours. Aeration reveals finer tannin, more red fruit character, lavender, saddle leather, thyme and pepper. Perhaps not as impressive as the 2015, but still a fairly complex and interesting wine for the price. I appreciate Texier’s Syrahs very much; they are never dull or heavy.
