2012 vintage. Old vine Syrah ( 60+ years) on granite soils on very steep slopes. Much more intense and mineral compared to the 2012 Thalabert tasted alongside ( as reflected in the higher price tag). Profound, intense and long, this could be mistaken for Hermitage. A terrific wine from a vintage that remained under the radar Abv. 13,5%.

At first, was thinking newish world, but as it opened it reveled all of its old world charm. Med plus bodied, dark fruits, sausage, leather, pepper, slate minerality and lots of acid to back up the weight.
