The 2016 Syrah Jolie Bouche has a dark core with aromas of black fruit with a dusty mineral rigidity and black spice. It's medium to full-bodied and softly volatile on the palate, with stewed plum flavors and black peppercorn spices that follow, showing more focus than the nose leads on, ending with chewy dark fruits. 320 cases produced. My clear preference is for the Big Papa Old Block Cabernet Sauvignon.
