Classic CdP and an iconic producer. Blackberry, dark fruits, herbs, spice, olive, earth. Full bodied, but low-to-medium tannins and great concentration. Fantastic with Mediterranean food. — 10 months ago

Very nice Syrah, but slightly underwhelming for the price point. Decanted 4 hours and it needs it at this point. Dark dark fruit, olive, some cured meat. — 4 years ago

Fancy style on the label. Olive. Exactly like nice olives and luscious cooked black and purple fruits cooked in savory styles. Flavors are spiced and hold a lovely elegance. Savory. Strange. Delicious. This is the mystery of Syrah in a bottle. — 8 months ago

Wonderful chinon. Have cab franc too infrequently, I think. Had an 89 of this bottle at Manhatta several years ago and enjoyed that too. Beautiful color in the glass. Quite restrained in a wonderful way. Definitely smells like cab franc. A hint of fruit. Some olive. Great refinement. Actually not a ton of acid but the finish is long and very nice. — 3 years ago

Un petit intrus dans cette semaine bourguignonne... carafé deux heures avant. Nez de cote-rotie, poivre, vanille et olive. En bouche c’est complexe et puissant.... vanille, fumée, smoked-meat, olive, chocolat noir, violette. Le tout est bien marié et la longueur est persistante. Un vin qui a tout pour plaire. — 6 years ago

Yep Mrs E popped another 🤣 the 09 Sass (10th try) & @ £138-£180 is going to be a lovely 😈 in time if Mrs E stops opening them 🤣 Notes similar as before but dryness is easing & other subtle changes appearing 😁

Just an incredible 14 year old #syrah from Wind Gap that’s just screaming Crozes-Hermitage or Cornas in the glass. Cured meat, bacon fat, black olive followed by a deep well of brooding black fruit aromas. Palate is fresh with salivating acidity, aged fruit, coffee, dark chocolate and ethereal tannins on a long finish. Beautiful wine, especially for $53 for 6 bottles at WineBid (before shipping.)
