Drink 2010 - 2020
Gerard Jaboulet, from that famed Rhone estate, provided some of the vine cuttings and much of the inspiration for a wine that is dedicated to his memory. Strongly spicy Syrah with dense, sweet fruit forming a solid core. The wine offers an impressive array of flavours. In addition to the black pepper and star anise there is violets, toast, coffee, blackcurrants and plum. Big but supple with impressive potential. A relatively high proportion of Viognier (9%) adds to the wine’s elegance and lifted aromatics. 19.5/20 5 Stars, Decanter Magazine.
