Roses in the aromas and on the palate. Wonderful earthy notes, currants, kirsch, and iodine, too. Well appointed. With some time, the wine took on a vegetal note like a Loire cab franc. Not a drawback at all.

2010. Slight charcuterie and meat, silky tannin, olive tapenade, slightly bloody, roses. Good structure and acid.

Gamey and peppery, just the way I like Syrah.

The 2008s really are drinking well right now. This has the grip and and lushness of a #coterotie but also is so elegant and pretty. Great typicity. #louisbarruol

Roasted meats and garrigue. Otherwise not so complex. Nice tannins but wished for longer finish.
