3 hours + in a decanter this time so that the funky barnyard stuff goes away. The nose is pretty neat and smells like young Syrah mostly : pepper, blackberry, garrigue, olive, a gamey touch too. The palate is more on the Syrah side too but the gamay touch is quite sensible: a touch of cherry and a bit of a metal dimension. Very quaffable again with the fruit and the acidity of the wine getting all the light.
