Moving to the reds from this estate and aged in old barrels, the 2016 IGP Fleurs de Mai is a layered, beautiful 100% Syrah from the Northern Rhône that offers lots of blackberries, olives and peppery, even floral characteristics; it has medium-bodied richness, sweet tannin and a great finish. Complex with nice freshness.
Excellent acidic line and tender tannins. Such a long, aromatic finish! Pushes all the Syrah buttons. Pure pleasure.
