Opaque with dark ruby tears, the 2015 Syrah Descendants Liégeois Dupont offers a nose full of American oak aromas with vanilla, kettle corn and toasted coconut, then sways toward dark cherry, blackberry and black plum scents, with a dusty minerality and purple resinous flowers. Medium to full-bodied, the palate shows a balanced structure, giving way to blackberry flavors with oak, wet stones and plum blossoms. Ultimately, the wine ends with a long, mineral finish, with lingering flavors of bitter dark chocolate, blackberries and cassis with white peppercorn. 1,900 cases produced.
