Robert Parker 97 Points: “A sensational barrel sample from owner/winemaker Guillaume Fabre, the 2013 Syrah (there’s 2% Grenache in the blend) exhibits a killer nose of creme de cassis, white chocolate, melted licorice and sweet spice to go with a decadent, concentrated and voluptuous style on the palate. Despite its wealth of fruit and texture, it never seems over the top, stays lively and balanced and has a great finish. If you’re craving lightweight aromas and flavors, look elsewhere.“
