Tasted April 2012. The viognier does make this syrah a fair bit more aromatic adding some light floral notes to the plumy goodness of the wine. The taste follows suite with a hint of freshness before being enveloped in wonderful dark plum cherry spicy notes that meander in a lengthy finish with hints of licorice and oakiness. Definitely one I'm happy to have stocked up on.

A Northern Rhone blend, but much more Southern Rhone in style - with added fruit of the New World.

Rich nose of red and black fruit jam, mocha, espresso, vanilla, balsamic, geraniums.

On the palate, lots of fruit (but not jammy). Long finish, with herbal nots (thyme, sage) coming through on the mid-palate. Slight spice, but subdued: a sprinkle of white pepper.

(Re)Tasted August 2018 - this has aged well.
