ブラックカラント、カシス、燻製肉、挽いた胡椒、野生のハーブの見事な香り。

フルボディで滑らかで重層的でありながら、常に優雅でエレガントな味わいで完璧なバランス。シラー84%、グルナッシュ7%、プティ・シラー6%、残りをヴィオニエとムールヴェードルのブレンド。

A step up from the Grenache, the blockbuster-styled 2012 Syrah Stock checks in as a blend of 84% Syrah, 7% Grenache, 6% Petit Sirah, and the rest Viognier and Mourvedre, that was fermented with 32% whole clusters and aged in just over half new French oak. It offers stunning notes of blackcurrants, cassis, smoked meats, ground pepper and wild herbs to go with a full-bodied, unctuous, layered, yet always graceful and elegant feel on the palate. Nicely structured, with perfect overall balance, it still has the open-knit character of the vintage, yet has plenty of underlying structure, which at the moment is slightly hidden by the wine's lavish fruit. It will be better in 2-3 years, and have two decades of overall longevity.
