It&#8217;s the Crozes-Hermitage Equinoxe 2009 by Maxime Graillot (Alain&#8217;s son), and it&#8217;s just fabulous.<\/p>\n<p>Made for early drinking, sealed with a screwcap (saranex liner, mind, good choice), this is inky dark and alive, with vivid black cherry and blackberry fruit. It&#8217;s so edgy, with grippy, gravelly tannins, restrained savoury meatiness, and lovely acidity. This is essence of Northern Rhone Syrah, with amazing fruit quality and yet not a sign of spoofiness.<\/p>\n<p>Nowhere else can make Syrah quite like this. It was only \u00a313.95 from Berry Bros, but since I bought the bottle last week they&#8217;ve moved on to the 2010, which should be equally good if not better. Yapp may well still have some 2009. This is a stunning bargain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m so excited by this wine I&#8217;m blogging on it minutes after opening it and trying it for the first time.
