Chateau Maris La Touge Syrah 2009
Another cracker of an import from the guys at Pure Fine Wines, and another savoury wonder from the Languedoc that ticks many a box for me. In fact, the winemaker at Chateau Maris is none other than Benjamin Darnault, of the eponymous Picpoul-de-Pinet so lauded on these pages.
Opens with a jumbly jam of brambly fruits, earthen with hints of moccha chocalata (ya ya), yet with time the savoury elements come to the fore: woody, spicy rustic - with fruit flecks adding to the composition.
The palate shows a wine fulsome, eighty, savoury. Pitch of acid on a good length, channeling grainy/ gravelly tannin to an excellent conclusion. Enjoyed seeing how this morphed over time. 92+ - Very Good
