Has some funk & earth. Not a traditional Syrah. But then again, it does not come from a traditional place. I would drink this again

That time a working dinner devolved into a lamb-and-belly situation. Balanced dark cherry and herbal notes, medium body, rosemary on the finish.

Enjoyed tasting Alain Graillot's Moroccan Syrah with him in his barrel room. The wine is simple and pure: short on aromatics but nice fruit, spice, acid. A wonderful winemaker with an adventurous spirit.

Showing well! Made by a light hand with great aromatics. Good evolution with fleshy tropical fruit for a time. Good value
