Product Description
JD100 "A perfect wine, the 2016 Syrah Lorraine is a quintessential example of this cuvée and has a glorious perfume of crème de cassis and black raspberry fruits interwoven with notes of chocolate, cured meats, white flowers, and toasted spices. Full-bodied, incredibly concentrated, and powerful on the palate, it still stays perfectly balanced, has a stacked mid-palate, ultra-fine tannins, and a finish that won't quit. Drink this heavenly Syrah any time over the coming 20-25 years." JD Aug 2020
"There are certainly no dogs in the recent vintages from John Alban – 2016, 2017, and 2018 are all brilliant vintages. At the top of the heap, the 2016s have everything: Incredible purity of fruit, flawless balance, and power paired with considerable elegance. These are magical wines and some of the finest I've tasted from the estate." JD Aug 2020
