Completely disoriented by this very original expression of the Syrah. We expect a Sunny wine with alcohol and the typical notes of Australian Shiraz outside, we have here a wine of great delicacy with rather red fruity notes, and unexpected vegetable notes of menthol and even eucalyptus, also a slight musk animal character. The winemaking is admirable and we recognize Alain Graillot's style. Superb! 🇦🇺
Complètement désorienté face à cette expression très originale de la syrah. On attend un vin du soleil avec de l’alcool et les notes typées du Shiraz australien hors, on a ici un vin d’u grande délicatesse avec des notes fruitées plutôt rouges, et des notes végétales inattendues mentholée et même eucalyptus, également un léger caractère animal musqué. La vinification est admirable et on reconnaît le style d’Alain Graillot. Superbe! 🇦🇺 — 4 years ago
Lemon citrus notes along with floral and melon. Strong pale yellow and easy drinking. — 5 years ago

Original price tag, this Crozes-Hermitage is really remarkable (I believe La Guiraude is a special cuvée?), meaty, smoky, classic aged French Syrah, long finish, amazingly this was the most ready to drink of these wines I’ve been posting tonight, and the favorite of at least one of our 6 tasters tonight!! With all that said, if anyone has bottles of this wine, it’s fully mature. — 9 months ago
Purple-grenat dress, semi-deep, beautiful shine. Deep herbal nose, more than fruity, smoked breeding note, earthy, sweet spices, pepper. Light body, with material and intensity to withstand several years of aging and still evolve. Has not yet reached full maturity. At D+2 it expanded. A fairly sober, but promising, Beaujolais on guard.
Robe pourpre-grenat, semi-profonde, bel éclat. Nez profond végétal, plus que fruité, note d’élevage fumée, terreux, épices douces, poivre. Corps léger, avec de la matière et de l’intensité pour supporter plusieurs années de garde et encore évoluer. N’a pas encore atteint sa pleine maturité. À J+2 il s’est étoffé. Un Beaujolais de garde assez sobre, mais prometteur. — 3 years ago
Red cherry, blackberry, blurberry on the nose with immediate earthy and spices. Didn’t pick floral aromas. Beautiful on the palate with tartness followed by mid-palate tannins and long finish with earth, bacon, leather, thyme, rosemary and peppery finish. This was fun! Well balanced and serious wine. Decanted for 2.5 hrs and it was still opening up in the glass. — 6 years ago
Super drinkable red - dark autumn fruits, light and juicy. Super nice! — 7 months ago
Fruit and earth and heme and amazing tannins and just a hint of Brett. Quite lovely though. Could certainly have aged longer but I didn’t feel like waiting. — 9 months ago
