The Efeste Jolie Bouche Syrah 2012 broods with dark fruit and complex flavor. This is a bold and rich red. The wine is a deep, inky purple in the glass, with rising aromas of blackberry nectar, bacon fat, dark olive, and graphite. Supporting characters of licorice, balsamic drenched figs, tangerine, and Herbs de Provence add subtle savory notes. This is a wine that continues to unfold with air. The palate is full of dark fruit flavors, with a tantalizing minerality and a silky, fruit-laden weight. The tannins are finely grained and well incorporated.
