The 2013 'Grand Ciel' Syrah is one of the most impressive Syrah bottlings that I've sampled from this estate and showcases the warmth and intensity of the vintage. With a glass-staining, inky hue, the wine begins with aromatics of black tea, Asian spices, blackberry preserves, smoked meats and roasted figs. This leads to deep flavors of blackberry jam, coffee grounds, mocha and black olive. Gorgeous and generous style that should age well for years to come. (Best 2016-2026) - March, 2016 (OB)
