I use this wine key: Forge de Laguiole Ebony
I have used this glass in this Video: Nude Stem Zero Powerful Reds
I have tasted the following wines in this Video:
2020 Vinedos de Alcohuaz 'Tococo de Alcohuaz' Syrah, Elqui Valley, Chile
www.wine-searcher.com/find/vi...
2020 Stefano Amerighi Syrah Cortona, Tuscany, Italy
www.wine-searcher.com/find/st...
2017 Gramercy Cellars Les Collines Block 50 Syrah, Walla Walla Valley, USA
www.wine-searcher.com/find/gr...
2010 Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz, South Australia
www.wine-searcher.com/find/pe...
2008 The Ojai Vineyard Syrah, Santa Barbara County, USA
www.wine-searcher.com/find/th...
2001 Domaine Rene Rostaing Cote Rotie Cote Blonde, Rhone, France
www.wine-searcher.com/find/do...
The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com):
96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.
90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.
80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.
70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine.
60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.
50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.
Syrah has a long history and the most common place associated with the grape is Hermitage in the northern Rhône. The wines from Hermitage are so famous for their quality that they were used to add body and concentration to Bordeaux wines. This process was commonly referred to as Hermitagé.
The name might suggest that the variety comes from the Persian town Shiraz, located today in not-so-wine-friendly Iran, or maybe from Syracuse in Sicily
Today we know, however, that it is great-grandchild of Pinot and the offspring of little-known varietals Mondeuse Blanche and Dureza.

You may already know this but it was a frenchman, Leon Mazure, who created the original St Henri claret, as it was called then, on his Auldana vineyard in McLaren Vale, South Australia. He also created one of the first Sparkling Syrahs (Shiraz) in Australia which is somewhat a unique wine in Australian viticulture. Although Penfolds took over the Auldana vineyard, the legacy of Leon continues to this day with what I consider to the best valued Shiraz in Australia, because of its complexity and ageing ability. Thank you Konstantin for showing all the different wines from many countries. I will have to seek out the Italian syrah from Cortona and the Chilean syrah from Elqui Valley....if I can find them!

Nice to see some international praise for the Aussie Shirraz. Many Australian winemakers are calling their Shiraz 'Syrah' now, to indicate more freshness and restraint as a departure from the Penfolds style of very ripe, toasted oak bombs.

A hidden gem, especially for Syrah, is the Swiss region of Valais. Extremely steep, mountainous terrain and a very dry, sunny climate seem to work well for this variety.

Swiss wines are so unavailable unfortunately, unless you are in Switzerland. I believe 1% of the country's production is exported and most of that is to Germany. I love Swiss Chardonnay, Syrah and Pinot Noir as well as indigenous varieties like Petite Arvin.

Excellent video as always. Syrah is like pinot noir for me, in that when it’s mediocre it’s really mediocre, but when it’s well made it can be sublime. And so interesting how many styles it can be made raging from tannic fruit and pepper bombs to delicate floral expressions.

I’m enjoying Syrah more and more as I discover its diversity. It’s done quite well in the Okanagan valley in Canada where it often takes on an herbal sage quality. It’s also commonly blended with Cab, Merlot, etc. to make ‘Super Okanagans,’ our answer to Super Tuscans.

I think it would really be nice for you to have a video on Chablis. I don't think you have ever discussed this great chardonnay region from northern Burgundy. High quality Chablis can offer tremendous value compared to the white Burgundies of the Cote de Beaune, such as Montrachet and Meursault. I think the best wine I have ever tasted was a Grand Cru Chablis.

Fun story... back in my wine rep days I was offered a 24 pk of 375ml 1998 St Henri Shiraz. Not realizing this was going to be the best vintage in years, I drank them all in about a year. Incredible.... A few years later, I got to meet Peter Gago. He brought a bottle of 1998 St Henri to share with the sales force. He went on and on how this wine was worth saving for 2-4 decades.... imagine my reaction.

In Paso Robles, CA Calcareous has a Syrah "Moose" that is absolutely incredible. The winery blends in a touch of Petit Verdot. The first time I tasted it a few years ago, the first things out of my mouth were "blueberries and salami." The wine maker laughed and agreed with me. Of course, it's much more complex than that, but that was the immediate observation when I tasted it. Every time I go to Paso(my home away from home), I try to stop there and get a bottle, or at least taste. Now that I'm retired, my budget is a little bit more fussy, but I still love to taste that Syrah. And regarding Au Bon Climat. Their Burgundian varietals, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, are wonderful. They will also have a well aged Nebbiolo available from time to time which is also surprisingly good. RIP Jim Clendenen, who passed in 2021.

Though I don't know Syrah as well as other varietals, I have recently started learning about it and delving into its many regions. I really like your presentation of Syrah from around the planet, as it really has interesting characteristics depending on region. In blinds, I am always searching for the markers of black olive and black pepper to give me a clue. The best I've ever had was 1998 Jaboulet "La Chapelle" Hermitage when it was 21 years old. Jaboulet is probably my favorite producer in northern Rhone. Simply sublime

Hi, great Tasting and I really appreciate your honest Ratings here. But it had been interesting to see your Rating of another Shiraz from Australia next to Penfolds like Ben Glaetzers Amon-Ra and / or Dan Standishs Shiraz. So another Round of Syrah / Shiraz tasting - maybe then also with an Italian One from Alessandro Tenimenti ? :-)

When I was young I was invited to a "chef's table" at the hospital at which I was working (in Australia - this was in the 1990s). It was done every month as a reward to recognise people. The first of these I attended featured the St Henri ! I wasn't particularly into wine at that young age, but I was after drinking that wine!

I used to work for Penfolds at the cellar door - St Henri was always one of my favourites. Minimal oak, aged in massive old French oak tanks and so just a great counterpoint to the Grange in new American oak. For me, a cult classic and 2010 is probably the greatest vintage to date - still way too early to drink, even from the demi! Amazing. As a side note, I wonder if comparing Syrah from vastly different vintages introduces the outlier of maturation as a confounding variable.. I would love to see a video comparing certain wines, both in their youth and in their ideal drinking window. Love your content, excellent delivery!

Thanks for another great video! I live down in the Corbieres region, just a few km from La Clape, so we do have a lot of Syrah in the vineyards around here; but it's mostly blended with Grenache, Mourvedre and Carignan. I've always been a fan of the luscious, bold reds from this region - but there's something very special with the more sophisticated northern Rhone Syrahs that does appeal a lot to me. Watching this video just made me wanting to order Syrah from all over the word - but unfortunately it is a bit difficult and very expensive in comparison to the French stuff. Given the fact that I live down in the "dirty south" and that this is one of the most exciting regions in the old world for the past 10 years (yeah sure, I'm bias) I would love to see you taste some great wine from Languedoc-Roussillon. Could also be interesting given that a lot of stuff here has a really high QPR. Thanks again, An keep up the great work 💪🍷

At least out here in CA I can say that our shop has gotten some library Ojai releases not that long ago and some of which I believe went back as far as 09 for some of their Pinots. The price on them was still crazy low (~$50 retail) and they were for sure stored properly by the winery. It's unfortunate you got a dud :( Please keep showing the extreme QPR for most Syrah! If you have yet to taste the Piedrasassi Syrah I'd highly recommend giving some of those a shot.

@marknelson8724
@marknelson8724 5 месяцев назад
How long to age a good bottle of wine is a moving target as every winemaker seems to be making their wines to be more drinkable at younger ages. It used to be that good Bordeaux was figured to need 15 years, more or less. Now Jancis Robinson is recommending 10 years from vintage. Is that an average or is she just talking about the good bottles? Good bottles I think.

I truly recommend you this syrah: Bodega Inurrieta, Puro Vicio, one of the best syrah I ever tasted 👌

My favourite Syrah is Montes Folly from Chile, they have outstanding Syrah out there. Also loved a bottle I tried recently of Martins Vineyards from McLaren Vale in Australia. Cheers!

My favourite Shiraz tasted was Hill of grace closely followed by Penfolds Grange, Penfolds RWT would probably be my third choice

I know it's strange to hear/read but recently we, here in Brazil, are having excellent Syrah from many regions, specially from southern Minas Gerais. I also know they're quit difficult to reach even for us but, you know, it's always good to meet new wine regions!
