Tasting notes
Based on a single parcel of old-vine Syrah, the 2015 Cuvee Madame spent 22 months in tank prior to bottling. It's a svelte, creamy-textured wine, loaded with notes of cola, blueberries, and savoury dried spices. There's enough dusty tannin on the finish to suggest that cellaring for another 5-6 years wouldn't be out of the question, although it's certainly drinkable now.
