The 2018 Syrah Lorraine, which I tasted just after its bottling in mid-2022, is incredibly pure and powerful with a latency that suggests it will have a very long life in the cellar. It has a deep ruby-purple color and precise, layered aromatics: Morello cherries complement wafts of wild mint, cracked pepper, chargrilled meat, sage and bitter chocolate. The full-bodied palate is plush and luxurious, its concentrated core of sweet fruit supported by loads of powdery tannins and mouthwatering acidity, and it finishes with tremendous length. Wow! This iconic Syrah will be released in the spring of 2023.
