On the nose, intense spiciness and notes of Bitou berries and green peppercorn are found. They integrate harmoniously with subtle oak nuances. Black cherry and black olive complexity adds depth. The palate is elegant with velvety tannins. A beautiful salinity lifts the wine. This Syrah is sophisticated. It will develop with style over time.
