This magnificent wine combines deep ruby brilliance with concentrated notes of black currant and plum, spice and smoky aromas, and nuances of truffle that come from aging. The fine tannins unfold like silk, resulting in a long, lingering finish. You can now enjoy the true value of this aged Syrah from a prestigious winery at its best.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
Deep garnet colour.

The aroma is of black fruits such as blackberry and cassis layered with nuances of black pepper, smoke and cedar, with truffles, damp earth and wild herbs quietly emerging in the glass.

The tannins, achieved through 20 years of aging, are as supple as silk, with an elegant structure that harmonizes fruitiness and umami.

It has a deep finish that is typical of a prestigious Northern Rhone wine, with a sense of tension from the minerals and a lingering smoky and spicy finish.

Pairing
Roast lamb with Provencal herbs
Beef cheek stewed in red wine
Roasted duck breast with blackberry sauce
