Pierre Gaillard 2014 Syrah Saint Joseph France

Parcels of fruit come from the far north of St Joseph in the Rhone Valley. A ripe cherry in colour that fades out towards the rim. White pepper smack you in the face, quite dominate hard to get past and fine anything else on the nose. White pepper and dark fruits on the palate, the tannins and acid are soft with a little twiggy coming from fermentation with some stalks. It’s a nice wine, 15/20 Tasted at Valhalla’s Shiraz of the world event. Cheers Gaz
