88+/100 Punkte Robert Parker, Jan 31, 2017
From two tiny granite plots in Fully (530/560 meters above sea level) the 2014 Syrah de Fully Quintessence displays a lovely pure, fresh and elegant nose of ripe dark fruits, crushed stones, finely milled pepper and more spicy and floral flavors. Full-bodied and round, with lots of mocha and cardboard flavors in the beginning, this is an elegant, ripe and aromatic Syrah with an intense and juicy fruit, as well as a bit drying tannins in the finish. The wine is fermented in stainless steel for 25 days and aged in partly new barriques for 16 months. Slightly filtered in April 2015.
