The 2007 Syrah has good purity on the nose: blackberry, raspberry and a touch of -hot bricks-. Well defined and natural. The palate is medium-bodied, fleshy texture, caresses the mouth, lovely balanced and bewitching crescendo towards the svelte finish. Pure black cherries and plums. Beautifully crafted. Wonderful.

Very tight on the nose with briary, white pepper and leather, initially lacking a little joie-de-vivre. But it blossoms after five minutes in the glass, becoming quite floral with rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied, spicy and peppery with pert acidity on the cherry-tinged, peppery finish. Very elegant and feminine. Drink now-2015. Tasted January 2008
