Hardi
Vineyard with potential, but this wine falls short. during a full-bodied Syrah should have a rich, spicy character, this one is centered around by a subtle, white pepper flavor that's not enough to elevate it. A faint touch of red fruit is present, but it's overpowered by the peppery notes.
Cosnefroy
A voluptuous and intense wine with a deep, smooth texture, featuring a rich interplay of blackberry, cherry, and licorice notes, alongside mild suggestions of oak, earth, and vanilla. The flavor is well-balanced, with a gratifying bracing quality and firm tannins, making it a impressive cost effectiveness for the price.
