iron and smoked meat

This is an excellent Syrah

The old vines are very much apparent as this velvety yet very serious effort displays excellent power and like many of these Gevrey grands crus

This is really lovely stuff and a complete knock-out

Montes, Folly other_regions with strong notes of honeysuckleEven the Syrah, the 2012 Montes Folly, felt a little mainstream and shy not really showing much varietal character when poured. There is ripe fruit, black rather than red, and some balsamic aromas, quite oaky; after all, it spent 18 months in wood. The palate is full bodied, juicy and round, warm with glossy tannins and a sweet, fruit driven finish. 30,000 bottles produced.
