Notes de dégustation: un assemblage rhodanien classique de la gamme et un vin typiquement masculin, dense en concentré, certains diraient body-buildé. Malgré son physique intimidant, le vin est souple et raffiné même s’il est encore sur la réserve. C’est riche, intense et structuré sur des arômes et des saveurs de chêne sucré, des extraits de viande, de fruits noirs et du poivre. Impressionnant de puissance et de concentration.

VIN : SINE QUA NON LE SUPPLÉMENT SYRAH 2013 |
Coming entirely from the Eleven Confessions Estate Vineyard and composed of 89% Syrah, 6% Petite Sirah, 3% Grenache and 2% Viognier, using 28% whole cluster, the 2013 Syrah Le Supplement is just starting to evolve into beguiling earthy/meaty tertiary notes with suggestions of sandalwood, mossy bark, black soil, patchouli and salami over a core of blackberry compote, preserved plums, mincemeat pie and star anise with a touch of dried lavender. Rich, concentrated and decadent, the full-bodied, opulent palate explodes with black fruits preserves peppered by meaty/savory nuances and culminating in epically lingering exotic spice notes. 866 cases, 228 magnums and 30 double magnums were produced. Robert Parker. The wine Advocate. 100/100.
