Château Beauchêne, Les Sens de Syrah, Côtes du Rhône, 2014

Brooding blackberry fruit underlined by a thin seam of vanilla oak and a hint of aromatic herbs. The intense impact of black fruit on the palate is whisked along by a keen acidity and enriched by notes of sweet scorched earth. Succulent and nicely spiced with an appealingly savoury tannic frame.
