Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet (Hervé Souhaut) Vin de Pays de l'Ardèche Syrah 2014 (1500ml)

Matt Lasater

High toned, floral, spiced, loads of pepper and crunchy minerality. Fruit has lost some youthful exuberance, moving more into the background while its earth and perfumed notes come through. Tempts you with contemplation, but just so fun to drink. Wild black and red berry, bay, green and black peppercorns, peach, crushed rocks, wild herbs. Perfect foil for Moroccan rabbit and stewed veggies

Hervé has my heart and this bottle only confirms it.

Hervé Souhaut is an artist of fresh and pure. With the Syrah bottling, I relearn how simple techniques can yield complex results and how Northern Rhône doesn't always have to evolve into a drinkable state, unless it does. This is wild, mineral, dense yet lithe with a unique structure that isn't defined by tannin. Hervé is the Semi Carbonic King of Syrah. While I love Gonon, Jamet, etc, I am inspired but Souhaut tremendously

More fun than a sasquatch at a brat sale!

Sooooooooooo good! Souhaut makes the most aromatic Syrah on the planet

If Syrah and Gamay had a baby, this is the way it would taste.

Opened this to try teach NewWorld Syrah drinker the joys of Rhone Syrah & shot ourselves in the foot. 2014 nowhere near ready. Way too poky, tannins all up in your grill, hums like the back of a spice cupboard. I know it'll settle though, and it'll be joy when it does, as always.

Consistently fun, bright, alive Syrah at around 12% abv and no greeness.

Carbonic love: tight & trim and gloriously floral.
