and lots of it

by exception in 2021

Time has been kind to this wine

The 2001 Syrah Astralis Vineyard may be just as compelling as the 2002

Looks quite mature ruby

Denis Mortet, Echezeaux Size:6x750ml and lots of it(from a leased . 29 ha parcel in En Orveaux where Mortet receives half of the production). More discreet oak surrounds the notably spice infused aromas of red and dark berries, sandalwood and Asian style tea. The medium weight flavors possess a highly seductive and refined mouthfeel while delivering evident minerality on the persistent, complex and nicely balanced finish. This is firm and a bit austere but not rustic and should age gracefully. (90 93)
