Shiraz / Syrah
Shiraz / Syrah Powerful, black-fruited, often aged in oak, syrah/Shiraz comes in varying styles but at the top (such as Hermitage) can be spectacular and very long-lived.

Chateau de la Liquiere, Faugeres, Cuvee Cistus, 2018 MAGNUM
Named after the cistus or rock rose, the pretty shrub which dots the hillsides, a blend of 70% Syrah with 30% Mourvèdre. 2018 was a very small harvest (after problems with mildew) of high quality; 60% was aged in 500-litre barrels, and the rest in tank. A dark wine - dark in hue and dark in flavour profile - showing black cherry and cassis accented by black chocolate oak hints and liquorice. Fragrance of the garrigue. Still youthful and vigorous; with lurking mineral depths. Now-2026
"Gorgeous nose – plummy and plush and sumptuous, every bit of which is echoed on the palate. You want to sink into this wine, pull it over your head like a duvet on a chilly day, feel its spiced ripeness tingle on the roof of your mouth, lick every drop off your lips. Deeply comforting, proper integrity and depth, long finish with profound garrigue-scented freshness." 17/20, 2020-2026 Tamlyn Curran, jancisrobinson.com, Tasted July 2020
