Modern in style, with lots of fancy oak that gives it cassislike, violet and mucho toasted wood aromas. Overly woody, but there is good fruit and nice violet, smoke and blackberry complexity. For aficionados of woody Syrahs. Needs cellaring. Best from 2004 through 2010. 25 cases made.??–PM??Region: France / Northern Rh?ne / Hermitage Select to Add
