Tastes like a Pinot noir. I can't believe I have a Moroccan wine on my delectable list now. Why does this taste like a Pinot noir? It's a Syrah from a warm climate. What the hell is going on? Why does this restaurant want $90 for it?

Clearly all of the Syrah notes...meaty smokey but with a riper core. Fun wine

Expected Syrah characteristics; Spice, tobacco and mouth drying tannins. I enjoyed with venison loin and a sweeter cherry mostardo to compliment, but without the sweetness of the sauce this lacked balance. Pair carefully!

Bränd jord, orientaliska kryddor, choklad och rönnbär. Trevlig bekantskap.

Interesting, well-balanced Syrah from Morroco. Dark fruit on the nose. On the palate: black currant, dried prunes, baking spice, apple pie and red meat.
