Villard Grand Vin Syrah

Tasting Notes from the Curator

The Villard Grand Vin Syrah is an ocean in a glass, deep crimson in the light with shades of red-violet dancing on the surface, creating an elegant display of luster. Dive in, and the symphony of scents begins. It starts with the notes of cassis that bloom to red fruit, then matures to the delicate scent of oak. On the palate, the complexity of flavors is simply overwhelming. The ripe sweetness of plums and red berries first sways in, followed closely by the fiery piquancy of spices, tempered with a well-rounded and velvety texture. The managing tannins, display both firmness and smoothness, are a delight to the senses. The finish is an eloquent conclusion; long, smooth and wholly satisfying. The Villard Grand Vin Syrah is a representation of mastery in winemaking. It’s an orchestra of flavors and aromas, with each player complementing yet standing distinctly in this symphony of taste and sensory experience.

Pairings & Suggestions
