Esprit de Granit, St Joseph, Syrah

An appealing perfumed nose of intense liquorice and vanilla leads to a palate characteristically mineral with delicious sweet dark fruit, good balance and evident but ripe tannins. Already seductive and elegant, the awards are for the undoubted potential of this superb wine which is still young and will continue to develop complexity over the coming years.

IWSC Awards 2022, 96 points, gold: Exquisitely cultured with a sumptuous array of generous black fruit and warming spice on the palate. Enjoys a long velvety finish that accentuates a masterful vein of lingering subtle oak. A beautifully complex and truly elegant wine
