Monier de La Sizeranne Hermitage Syrah
Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
2016 vintage. Last tasted 06.10.22 (9.4). Medium-heavy body now. Decanted and tasted after 30 mins. A slight amount of sed. Earth, shrooms, motor oil, fudge, dark plum and gaminess all there for the taking. Just starting to stretch its legs out. 05.22.25.

Good classic example from Hermitage. Dark savory nose; dark fruit, unresolved tannins and meat in the mouth. Powerful, long finish. A bit high on the alcohol. 3 hrs in a decanter helped, but still not ready.
