Description
Maison Bruyère et David “Plaisir” Syrah red 2022 from the Northern Rhône Valley.
NEW VINTAGE.
100% Shiraz (AKA “Syrah”, the French word for Shiraz). From a parcel of vines adjacent to Côte-Rôtie. Made by young guns Justin Bruyère and Sylvain David who have been proudly and consistently supported by The Other Bordeaux since their very first vintages.
After the extremely herbal 2021 this new 2022 sees a volcanic return of intense Shiraz fruit, blueberry and cassis, but still with wonderful black pepper and cinnamon spice hints, the autograph of Shiraz from this northern sector of the Rhône. Magically inviting aromatics then lead seamlessly into a heart-melting palate of juicy volume, satin smoothness, and ultra fine tannin on the finish. The real Northern Rhône deal for a really reasonable price. Tiny production and another TOB exclusive.
Drink now to 2029.
