CHATEAU MARIS2006 LA TOUGE SYRAH
90 points
High-toned mint and herbal essences and buddleia
floral perfume mingle with scents of ripe black
currant in the nose of the Maris 2006 Syrah La
Touge, leading to a lush, sweetly-ripe palate,
with notes of wet stone and pencil lead offering
interest in the finish. This has a wonderfully
silken feel, and despite its suggestion of
sweetness and its (by estate standards low) 14.5
alcohol, possesses an almost cool fresh fruit
character, with an invigoratingly tart edge.
