Michel Gassier Syrah Les Piliers 2011
Costières de Nîmes, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceI love the power and presence of this huge, peppery, mineral, meaty garrigue-scented red. The attack is similarly rich and mouth filling with rich but fine-grained tannins and fresh savoury liquorice minty cherry, chocolate flavours. The finish is persistent, fresh and youthful. Age three years or serve now with grilled meats or hard mature cheese.Tasted: 01 February 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $22.50 | 750ml | speculative listing - Altus Wines |
