RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

...blackcurrants, bilberry, pressed iris flower and a pinch of Provençal herbs...palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, sappy and beautifully balanced, gently building towards a voluminous, almost Côte-Rôtie-like finish.

94James Suckling

A lovely and inviting nose of grilled plums, black cherries and hot stones. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Juicy, succulent and generous without being overdone. Savory undertones of clove, leather and coriander. A hint of blue fruit. Layered and deep.

93The Wine Advocate

...presents dark cherry, dusty florals and a hint of black pepper on the nose. It's clean, fresh and correct, with a mineral-driven expression and a dusty floral sensation on the palate. Medium-bodied, the wine is spicy and will undoubtedly shine even brighter when paired with food.

92Wine Enthusiast

The bouquet includes an aromatic blend of crushed petals, plums and tomato leaves. Fine tannins and enough acidity provide support to a firm palate of meaty and black fruit flavors that mix with spices and hints of black olives.

90.5CellarTracker

17.5Jancis Robinson

Much more red-fruited. This is beautiful, pure dark-red fruit, so fresh, with layers of paper-fine tannins...elegance and length and yet shows the richness and fruit sweetness of a warmer region and the structure that characterises wines from these vines.

TYPE

Red Wine, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
