The 100% Syrah, the 2003 VDP d’Oc Les Grands Augustins (made from 15-30-year old vines) is a flashy, bistro-styled, deep ruby-hued effort revealing sweet, straightforward black currant fruit intermixed with a touch of licorice. Medium-bodied and plump, it should be consumed over the next 1-3 years.
