Description
Les Vignerons de l’Ardèche “Syrah Frigoule” Ardèche red 2020. NEW vintage.
100% Shiraz.
A more mellow red colour than the Basalte du Coiron (wine #2) and less aromatic emphasis on the blackberry jam, still fully ripe but more intriguing and nuanced fruit, complex, more concentrated but less prettily perfumed, more serious, some dark cassis fruit, depth, a touch of smoky oak, but the palate is a substantial step up: firm and full bodied, compact and juicy, richer, more grip, satisfying and very slurpable. Smashing Shiraz.
Drink now to 2027.
