The 2008 Syrah Les Gitanes is another delicious, fruity wine bursting with blueberries, blackberries, licorice and tobacco. It shows good mid-palate richness and plenty of length. Hints of creme de cassis and licorice linger on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. The 2008 reds are the highlights among these new releases from Renard.Tel.
