Cayuse, Cerise Syrah Size:3x750ml The 2000 La Dominique is

The 2000 La Dominique is a wine that I thoroughly enjoyed out of barrel but never tasted in bottle

palate coating and long if mildly rustic finish

girdled by lively acids and concluding with a long and mineral finish

But not this wine

Cayuse, Cerise Syrah Size:3x750ml The 2000 La Dominique isHealthy dark red. Musky, Old World scents of bloody steak, minerals, olive tapenade, wild herbs and soy sauce. Densely packed and sweeter in the early going than the En Chambertin, with notes of spices and peat moss that reminded me of a Cte de Nuits wine. Pliant in texture but still quite reserved and not at all a sweet style. The tannins are a bit youthfully tough and a bit less noble than those of the 2012 version, but this distinctly savory wine
