France produces lots of Syrah. Therefore to stand out and be remembered a wine needs that extra something that a person remembers, otherwise its a “nice wine” whats next. This does stand out.

Its elegant with aromas of blackcurrant and liquorice and flavours of dark fruits, spice and floral notes of violet, subtle rose hints and vanilla with oak in the background. its good and at about £18 a bottle its not over priced.
