Tasting note
Ruby-red with violet hues, great aromatic intensity, with the spicy notes like white pepper and olives, complemented by floral notes of violets and fruits, like cassis and blueberries. The notes of oak are very soft, contributing complexity, while respecting the fruit in this wine.
In the press
93/100 - A very ripe syrah with some baked blackberries, dried herbs and dark spices. Very full-bodied and loaded with silky tannins and juicy black and blue berries. A broad-shouldered red with lots of concentration. Drink or hold.
92/100 - The 2020 Lot 8 Syrah is a bit shy and doesn't have the aromas the variety can develop in cooler years. It's only 13.5% alcohol (a little higher in this warm year) and has a medium to full-bodied palate with abundant, slightly dusty tannins and a dry finish. Drink 2023-2028
