Meaty, gamey, mineral and very floral. Killer nose. Palate less killer. A bit dirty.

Lighter-bodied vs. New World Syrah. After opening, started to show pepper, terroir, herbs. Lovely with the Osso Bucco.

Rustic. Good typicity. Medium body. Fairly extracted but not unbalanced. Solid bistro wine with braised lamb. Feels like I’m in southern France.
