Quinta do Francês Syrah, Terraços, Algarve 2022
15 months in French Oak (again some new). Raisened fruit on the nose. Black fruit and pepper on the palate with an extraordinarily long finish. Some years ago, this wine won a televised Blind Tasting of all Portuguese Syrahs. Excellent.
SAINT NICOLAS DE BOURGUEIL Les Malgagnes Domaine Yannick Amirault 2021
This is aged 80% in oak barrels and 20% in amphorae. This feels bright and more expressive on the nose, with raspberry notes and lightly grilled edges to the dark fruits. The palate is fresh and correct, with a softer wrapping of raspberry and blackcurrant fruits around a more grained and grippy core of tannins, which take the rather softly structured palate to the finish. This feels much more shaped by the barrels, and I prefer the Amphore version today, but will my opinion be reversed in five or ten years time I wonder.
