Note di degustazione
The 2017 Syrah Cuvee Christine comes from a mix of Vineyards and offers a Côte Rôtie-like perfume of black raspberries, smoked game, bouquet garni, and spring flowers. Playing in the medium-bodied end of the spectrum, it has a classic meaty, bacon fat-like character, supple tannins, beautiful up-front fruit, and outstanding length on the finish. I’d be thrilled to drink bottles any time over the coming 10-15 years.

Medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Syrah Cuvee Christine has a nose of chargrill, roasted meats, coffee beans and spicy blackberries, with wafts of sage and dried herbs. The palate offers nuances of pepper and herbs with savory, dark fruits and an abundance of fine, grainy tannins, finishing long.
The 2017 Syrah Cuvée Christine is wonderfully polished right out of the gate. Perfumed, silky and open, the 2017 is pretty expressive right out of the gate. Tobacco, spice and licorice lend quite a bit of nuance to the super-ripe dark cherry and plum fruit. The 2017 is an attractive wine, although I wish it offered a bit more freshness.
