Opaque ruby. Spice-tinged blackberry and cherry liqueur aromas pick up a sexy floral nuance as the wine opens up. Supple and broad on the palate, offering concentrated yet energetic red and blue fruit preserve, exotic spice and violet pastille flavors that are energized by a vibrant mineral flourish. Finishes gently sweet and impressively long, with fine-grained tannins and a strong echo of sappy dark fruit. Raised in new and used demi-muids .

100% Syrah. Aged for 12 months in old oak. Cask sample. Tasted blind. Ripe, natural red fruit with good clarity and attractive bitter olive notes on the finish. Medium body, soft tannins, simple finish. (RH)
