2015 Montes Folly

With pungent black olive and oily aromas and a strong impact from the élevage in oak, the 2015 Folly is a showy Syrah produced in a big and powerful style and bottled in a bulky Burgundian bottle. It's produced in an oaky style, closer to Guigal than to Clape, with abundant dusty tannins and oak-related flavors. It's a big Syrah for fans of oaky reds, though the wine should integrate the wood as time goes by. It has almost four grams of residual sugar, which makes it more approachable and likable by a segment of consumers. 40,000 bottles.
