Super huge grapey nose. But very pure and nuanced. From Mauves. Very granitic soil. More tannin. Velvety. Very sweet fruit and a bit of dog biscuit in a good way. Profound!

Vibrant, spicy, taut, and utterly delicious. Drank even the dregs so as to not waste a drop.

Interesting but disjointed. On the nose, dark, ripe, cote-rotie like. On the palate, acid, funk, minerality, and more acid. Perhaps it'll come together one day, but I won't hold my breath. Nonetheless, enjoyable.

Very grapey but pretty well balanced - not at all what I was expecting, but a nice surprise nonetheless

Smokey, meaty, peppery, everything a Syrah should be. Nice hints of baked fruit on the pallet as well.

Nice effort. Hint of spritz that blows off. Integrated fruit with nice bitterness. Love the nose. Hints of lavender.
