Peay Les Titans Syrah 2022

When I ponder the wine's ten-year maturation, I ponder whether it has aged well. I'm fond of Peay Vineyards, and the Les Titans Syrah 2004 is a mixed bag. The nose reveals a intricate bouquet: black currant, plum skins, menthol, lavender, and cola. The tongue is similarly multifaceted, with bright red fruit and a tart, astringent finish. The only drawback is the tannins, which are somewhat unbalanced, detracting from the overall experience. I award it 3.5 stars, reflecting its mixed qualities.

Satisfying encounter with Andy Peay, whose name is pronounced 'Pay'. The 100% Syrah was a standout, with blackberry, blueberry, and floral tones accompanied by white pepper. However, the drying tannins on the finish detracted from the on the whole rating, resulting in a 4.2-star experience. Nevertheless, the wine was enjoyable, and Andy Peay's company was a highlight.

Rich, full-bodied Burgundy with a complex scent of inky fruit, spices, and gentle earthy notes, expressing a unified harmony of tannins and acidity, with a smooth, lingering finish.
