The glass-staining purple mass that is the 2018 Clos des Truffiers is (as always) an exercise in intensity and power, yet it's not without a certain degree of elegance—the extraction is gentle, the tannins soft and creamy-plush in texture. Notes of blueberries, blackberries, vanilla, licorice and cocoa swirl about, providing immense pleasure in this full-bodied beauty that never seems heavy or overdone. Despite all the power, it's deceptively easy to drink, even at this early stage of its evolution. It should drink well for at least a decade after its release.

Varietal: Syrah

The Shiraz or Syrah grape varietal has seen a huge surge in popularity over the past few decades, partly due to the fact that more and more wineries around the world are beginning to plant and process this robust and flavorful grape for international audiences. This varietal has plenty going for it, and has the special ability of being able to clearly express positive features of its terroir in the bottle, alongside its characteristic flavors of dark berries, pepper and other spices. Shiraz/Syrah is also notably a highly versatile grape, and has been successfully used in several type of still red wine, as well as excellent sparkling and fortified wines. It is also regularly used as a blending grape, where it is prized for its ability to add a bold and strong, spicy punch to mellow, blended wines.

This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines.
