Top-of-the-range red wine ideal for aging, with a northern profile, a silky structure made from 90% of the estate’s finest plot of Syrah, over 40 years old.
It is a wine reminiscent of the balance of the more northern Rhône Valley, sappy, airy, deep and with a great silky texture, which can be kept in-between 10 and 15 years.
Jancis Robinson score 16/20
Comment
“He needs air. Aromas of campfire cooking. Burnt chocolate. The tannins are refined and bitter, the fruit is dark and cooked and covered in blackened spices – like the edges of a Christmas cake.”
