Vintage 2020 | with this Italian Syrah that I served blind I fooled my wine friends, because they thought that the cherry fruitiness and rondeur was the equivalent of a Cru the Beaujolais. High acidity. And they also determined spicyness and pepper.

Vintage 2020 | My goodness, this mocca bomb is terrific! Compelling smell with wagonloads of mocca, but also black pepper, milkchocolate, cedar and vanilla. The taste is velvety with soft tannins that do not disturb. Drink it now. Did not know that Tuscan Syrah could be this good. Paired with zucchini tarts and a deer burger.
