It's described as a remarkable effort from the estate, showcasing a thrilling bouquet of black and blue fruits, bay leaf, bacon fat, chocolate, and spring flowers. Robert Parker also rated it 93 points, noting scents of grilled lamb, olives, bacon fat, cracked peppercorn, violet, espresso, tar, and turned earth, with a core of ripe blackcurrants and blackberries. The palate is lush and floral with a chewy tannin structure, offering aromas of black licorice, boysenberry, and plum compote. This Syrah was aged in 60-70% new oak and is known for its Côte-Rôtie-like meatiness and gamey, floral character. 【 Jeb Dunnuck 97 points 】. 🍴 This full-bodied Syrah pairs wonderfully with rich, savory dishes. Think grilled lamb, roasted game, or hearty stews. Its smoky and peppery notes would also complement barbecue and dishes with a touch of spice. 🥂 Perfect for a special dinner party, a celebratory meal, or a cozy evening by the fireplace. It's a wine that invites contemplation and enjoyment over the coming decade or more.
