Tasting notes
A big, ripe and voluptuous Syrah, with some maturity, the 2002 Languedoc Clos de Cistes has lots of currants, black raspberry, iodine and roasted meat-like aromas and flavors. Sweetly fruit, with full-bodied richness and a decadent, yet concentrated and balanced profile, it’s hard to resist now, but should also hold through 2020.

Grilled meats. Bright, laser-line acidity – perhaps surprising given the alcohol and origin? Superb complexity on the nose. (RH)
Bright crimson. Spicy and fruity and with lots of lovely fruit and structure. So much interest here! Not a silly price though it tastes as though it came from further south than France in a way. (JR)
I think this was featured in May at Bar Boulud? Just very very slightly old tawny. Rich and liquorice. Racy and vibrant. Great individualistic stuff. Elegant but rich. (JR)
