Note di degustazione
Smoky nose and, like the Pinot, not remotely sweet. Very slightly rusty-nail on the end but proper. Savoury, grown-up wine. (JR)

I was blown away by the four Syrahs that Eric Sussman is producing. The 2013 Syrah Las Colinas comes from three cool-climate sites and is aged predominantly in 500-liter wood puncheons before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. The wine offers loads of almost Côte-Rôtie-like black olive tapenade, grilled meats, steak tartare, blackberry and cassis. It is full-bodied, dense and rich, but with sweet tannin and just enough acidity for vibrancy and delineation. Drink it over the next 8-10 years.
Deep purple. Polished leather nose with real aplomb and spice and lift. Massively electric and energetic. Recognisably Syrah. Really quite northern Rhôney. (JR)
Notes of wild blueberry and raspberry with blossom, and olive wash through a savoury, ultra-clean palate with lots of energy and lift. Nice structural balance with mouthwatering acidity to balance a long drying finish. Manages to capture both depth and accessibility. (ECB)
