AM I EVER GOING TO BUY NIGHTSTANDS? No. But as I pretend to be an adult, I’ll be sipping this wine talking about the kind of nightstands I like (spoiler alert - solid wood). — 2 years ago
Very smoky when we first opened but the tannins really mellowed on the second day. Lots of body. — 2 months ago
Between Notes of red and black fruits, spices and generous floral notes. Evocation of violet, pepper, apricot (viognier contribution). Balance and charming in the style of the beautiful expressions of a Crozes Hermitage. Very beautiful Syrah typical of the Rhone-Nord. Unfailing price/pleasure ratio.
Entre notes de fruits rouges et noirs, épices et notes florales généreuses. Évocation de la violette, du poivre, de l’abricot (apport du viognier). Équilibre et gourmandise dans le style des belles expressions d’un Crozes Hermitage. Très belle Syrah typique du Rhone-Nord. Rapport prix/plaisir infaillible. — 2 years ago
Light garnet dress, nice shine. Superb fine nose: strawberry, raspberry, pepper, sweet spices, aerial and floral shades with character. Nose that pinote. Structured and light mouth, medium + acidity, absolutely ready to drink. Semi-light body, paradoxical with chew, and delicate tannins. Endelived, charming, discreetly long finish between raspberry, pepper, spices and blood orange (?) A fine price/pleasure ratio to have in the cellar, in the light-bodied category.
Robe grenat légère, bel éclat. Nez superbe, fraise, framboise, poivre, épices douces, nuances aériennes et florales avec du caractère. Nez qui pinote. Bouche structurée et légère, acidité moyen +, absolument prêt à boire. Corps demi-léger, paradoxal avec de la matière, et des tanins délicats. Finale friande, charmeuse, discrètement longue entre framboise, poivre, épices et orange sanguine (?) Un fin rapport prix/plaisir à avoir en cave, dans la catégorie light-bodied. — 2 years ago
Syrah is the predominant grape more than Carignan & Grenache, despite what the label states! The wine is therefore more complex, more fragrant and more powerful at 14.5%, without being jammy or overwhelming. Good value for less than £10. — 9 months ago
Always so much fun with this pretty wine south of the Rhône-Nord. Syrah is expressed on red and black fruits with beautiful peppery notes, smoked bacon. Coated character. Contained power. Fine texture in the mouth. The acidity suggests that it is to be drunk now.
Toujours autant de plaisir avec ce jolie vin au sud du Rhône-Nord. La Syrah s’y exprime sur les fruits rouges et noirs avec de belles notes poivrées, lard fumé. Caractère enrobé. Puissance contenu. Texture fine en bouche. L’acidité suggère que c’est à boire maintenant. — 2 years ago
Nice treat, threw some darker straw color and effusive nose of lemon/lime, saline, kiwi - sort of green edged fruit but ripe. Silky & fattened up on palate, but still zesty w/acidic structure. More exotic fruit flavors in the mouth like honeydew melon, kiwi & guava. Just well done, not trying to be anything else but a solid aperitif style wine. — 2 years ago
