Domaine de Blanes Côtes du Roussillon "Cami de la Berne" 2006
14% abv; c.90% Syrah and the rest Grenache. It obviously spends time in new oak. But the obvious oak doesn't manage to hide the wonderful Syrah fruit. It is slightly gamy with ripe, juicy dark fruit. It is a sweet scent but refreshing, too. Very ripe and sweet attack, but generous quantity of tannins give the insides of my mouth a proper beating. Refreshing finish, though not very acidic. I think this will turn out to be a very nice expression of Southern Syrah, but should not be opened now unless you enjoy such levels of tannins that I like! (
