Ink-black Syrah from this renowned, low-intervention producer in the Drôme. A lovely airy purity of glossy, purple-skinned fruit adds a lightness to the otherwise broody interior of blackcurrant and black olive tapenade. It is surprisingly open given its youth, but with good underlying tannic structure, so you can enjoy it now, but it will open up and show more of that peppery, savoury Syrah character with time. Fans of Crozes-Hermitage form an orderly queue please! 14% alc. Drink now-2030.
