The 2011 Domaine Fond Croze Cuvee Shyrus is a foward and decadent style, offering a mouthful of dense plum and blackberry reduction with some pepper, spices and subtle hints of wet stone mixed in. Soft and polished, showing amazing concentration. It finishes up supple dosing out a generous amount of dark fruits and some chocolate flavors. This 100% Syrah is ready to go right away. - February, 2013
