Julien Schaal Syrah 2010

Eye: Wine of a beautifully intense ruby colour with violet and peony reflections to mark its youthful freshness. A bright and luminuous wine, opaque in its density of colour and expressing a lovely visual concentration.

Nose: On the nose, the wine marries finesse and vinosity on an aromatic framework dominated by fruity aromas. We found notes of blackcurrants and blackberries along with fresh, sugary blueberry aromas. On aeration, the wine not only takes on more power, but also more maturity. Licorice notes with scents of scrubland and sunkissed stone indicate the terroir and latitude. A supremely slick and generous wine.

Palate: On the palate, we find the same impression of black fruits, punctuated by lightly acidic and minty notes towards the middle of the palate. The fine and crisp tannins then take over to give an impression of fresh grapes and then we find a fantastic minty and licorice freshness on the finish. This welcoming and palatable wine has enough depth for a little ageing, but we recommend you enjoy it now for its superb fruity frame.
