Domaine de la Bastide Syrah 2000
Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceThe straight syrah "varietal" has become popular in UK and US supermarkets where the less they have to learn about French appellation laws the better. I tasted both the 1999 and the 2000 because the vintage is turning over in B.C. so expect to see both wines in liquor stores. The 2000 has a chewy, meaty texture with similar meaty, gamy, peppery syrah flavours. It's young and will improve throughout the winter.Tasted: 01 March 2003Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $9.95 | 750ml |
