Crozes-Hermitage AOC Syrah 2014

Nose is midway between extrovert and introvert. It gives up nice scents of crushed granite and warm sandstone overlaying fresh deep blackberry fruit. An iron-y note as well. Medium-bodied and very fresh, with lean, minerally, clingy flavors and nice acids. Very together. — 8 years ago

Montes Alpha Colchagua Valley Syrah 2012

This wine has got better and better. On the third day is drinking beautifully. Straight out of bottle, it was tannic and very much an introvert. Having been opened and decanted, however, this Syrah is in its element. Classic notes of dark cherries and dried red meats (particularly game) ooze into a savoury chocolate mid-palate. The finish graces your taste buds with an espresso martini that seems endless. For the money, this is a superb wine. Rated 92/100 by Wine Spectator in 2015. — 9 years ago
