Gaillard Syrah Terres de Mandrin 2010
Fabulously aromatic nose – thyme and briar bush. The palate is very purple grape-y (really! There’s a fruit for ya!). Leather and a little black licorice on the finish. This is French Syrah with all the aromatics you expect but without the Cote Roti price tag. Get it while you can because it never stays in stock all year! 12%
