M. Chapoutier Domaine de Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem Syrah Blend 2014

Bryce Wiatrak

From stalwart Rhône producer Chapoutier's Roussillon label, the Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem offers a polished, more tethered expression of Côtes du Roussillon Village. Wilted herbs, thyme, lavender, peppercorn, and raspberry liqueur flesh out on the palate, before finding a saltier, more gripping finds finish of decent length. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan.

Full body, dark purple dry wine. Black cherry, herb and spice flavoring. Goes great with my New York hand tossed pizza!

Chris Pham

raspberry flavors, smooth medium bodied, right amount of dry and light amount of spiciness.

Christopher J Marx

Superb with ratatouille!

Tim Marino

Very good. Cherry, herbs, spice mild tannins. Nicely balanced. Enjoyable bottle of wine. Not quite able to stand up to steak.

In magnum

Opened late last night. Had two glasses. It was somewhat subtle, earthy, and had hints of dried tobacco leaves. Today there are tiny hints of licorice, but really just big, dark fruit. I like it. Might buy it again.

Took a short trip to France for this blend to kick off NYE. Quite tasty.

Eddie Abernathy

Very good. Big flavor. Big fruit. Get lots of cherry and maybe even blackberry. Has nice sweetness to it. Smooth, but maybe a little much in the alcohol. Even finish that's buttery on the end.
