2003 Pax Syrah Pangea

Aged in 500-liter pungeons for 36 months, there are only 676 magnums of the 2003 Syrah Pangea. Representing an homage to Marcel Guigal’s single vineyard Cote Roties (which are aged 42 months in new oak), 100% whole clusters were used to create this profound Syrah. It boasts an opaque blue/purple color as well as a bouquet of ink, graphite, blackberries, cassis, flowers, and licorice. Dense and full-bodied with great precision and definition, this stunning wine demonstrates what innovative winemaking and great fruit can achieve. It should drink well for a minimum of 10-15 years.
