SCEA La Tache
Cuvée Guillamy St. Joseph Syrah
Super huge grapey nose. But very pure and nuanced. From Mauves. Very granitic soil. More tannin. Velvety. Very sweet fruit and a bit of dog biscuit in a good way. Profound!

Interesting but disjointed. On the nose, dark, ripe, cote-rotie like. On the palate, acid, funk, minerality, and more acid. Perhaps it'll come together one day, but I won't hold my breath. Nonetheless, enjoyable.

Nov 3rd, 2014Very grapey but pretty well balanced - not at all what I was expecting, but a nice surprise nonetheless

Dec 10th, 2018Nice effort. Hint of spritz that blows off. Integrated fruit with nice bitterness. Love the nose. Hints of lavender.
