100% new French oak (a mix of 500L puncheons and 228L barrels), this Syrah is aromatically explosive, erupting with dark, rich black and blue fruits layered over savory notes of cured meat, crushed black pepper, and wild herbs. Hints of vanilla, baking spices, tobacco smoke, and a creamy oak nuance weave through the nose, creating an irresistible depth. The palate is full and expansive, echoing the aromatics with lush dark fruit, bright acidity, and a beautifully structured frame. Velvety, integrated tannins wrap the richness in a sense of lift and balance. Powerful yet unexpectedly elegant, this Syrah captures both intensity and refinement in every sip.
