Hors Categorie Syrah 2021

98 Points Vinous

The seductively savory 2021 Syrah mixes richness with grace, blossoming in the glass with a perfumed bouquet that blends lavender pastille and mint with salt-cured meats, sagebrush and dusty blackcurrants. Elegant and enveloping, this comes across in waves of weighted silk, showing ripe blackberries, blueberries and exotic spices elevated by a core of fresh acidity. A cascade of sweet tannins mingles with hints of olive and violet pastille as the 2021 finishes with outstanding length and concentration.
