2013 Syrah de Mirbaudie, Georges Vernay

"(aged in all stainless steel): Inky ruby. Classic Syrah aromas of blackberry, violet and olive are accompanied by a smoky mineral note that builds in the glass. Spicy and precise on the palate, offering juicy black and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors that spread out nicely with air. Finishes on a gently tannic note, with hints of candied violet and olive and good persistence. Drink 2018-2021."  Josh Raynolds, Vinous.com, Mar 2016
