Vinho não muito escuro, mas não muito rubi. Não tem muito corpo, mas o aroma é bem intenso e amadeirado. Na boca as notas de madeira se destacam, mas com o ardor do álcool de forma intensa. Deixa um bom rastro e é bom de forma geral. — 2 years ago

I really have a hard time with Viognier but I’ll admit this was pretty good — 5 years ago

Round and strong. The attack and the body of the wine put the Syrah in the spotlight in all its specificities: both intense and fresh, with aromatic notes of violets, black fruits, spices, black olives, menthol, and leather. The finish is developed without being really long, letting out some gourmet peppery and herbaceous notes. A very gourmet wine for meat eaters, or Syrah enthusiasts (including me). Requires 2 good hours of ventilation. 2 years in the cellar will perfectly calm this youthful ardor which is nevertheless very appreciable.

Rond et costaud. L’attaque et le corps du vin mettent la Syrah a l’honneur dans toutes ses spécificités: à la fois intense et fraîche, avec les notes aromatiques de violette, fruits noirs, épices, olives noires, menthol, et cuir. La finale est développée sans être vraiment longue, laissant ressortir des notes poivrées et herbacées. Un vin très gourmand pour les mangeurs de viande, où les adeptes de la Syrah (dont je suis). Nécessite 2 bonnes heures d’aération. 2 ans de cave assagirons à merveille cette fougue de jeunesse néanmoins fort appréciable — 4 years ago

It took 24 hours for this to shed enough oak and alcohol influence to become an interesting wine with some complexity. There's gotta be a better way! — 9 years ago

Intensely fruity, charming nose. Confirmed on the palate with notes of ripe strawberries, cherries, floral notes of roses and slightly peppery. Little notes of aging, just the fruit well worked with little addition of sulfur. Beautiful youthful ardor that will certainly age wonderfully.

Nez charmeur intensément fruité. Confirmé en bouche avec des notes de fraise, cerise bien mûres, des notes florales de roses et légèrement poivrées. Peu de note d’élevage, juste le fruit bien travaillé avec peu d’ajout de souffre. Belle fougue de jeunesse qui vieillira certainement à merveille. — 4 years ago
