2015 noir — 92 pts from Wine & Spirits 

Once the oak pres­ence begins to recede with air, a scent of ros­es comes up under this wine’s black cher­ry fruit, as if the small amount of counoise blend­ed into this syrah is tak­ing its time to emerge. Give this plen­ty of air and it shifts from tough, juicy and black to firm and fine­ly struc­tured, sug­gest­ing it will ben­e­fit from sev­er­al years of cel­lar time.
