Etienne Seignovert - En Attendant La Nuit
An elegant and clean example of a great Syrah, It offers a rich and beautifully concentrated profile, featuring ripe red and black fruits such as cherry, raspberry, and blackberry, complemented by spicy and floral notes. The texture is velvety and silky, with perfectly integrated tannins that lend structure and balance. The well-balanced acidity adds freshness and liveliness, while the fruity flavours persist, evolving towards hints of liquorice, pepper, and cocoa for a long, elegant finish. Encaptures and amazing ageing potential.
