"Bright ruby. Tightly wound, focused aromas of red- and blackcurrant and licorice, with a hint of black olive. Firm, slightly ungiving dark fruit flavors are lifted by tangy acidity and gain sweetness with air. Good material here but this is a tough read right now. Finishes brisk and with good grip repeating the olive note."

A tasty and aromatic Syrah from Qupé, a specialist in Rhône grapes. This medium-bodied wine boasts classic Syrah flavors: black fruit and a touch of black pepper. -Astorwines.com
