Domaine Peyre Rose "Syrah Leone" 2008 red wine:

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2022 (Sept. 2021) : 94/100. Léone 2008 shows itself to advantage today: a delicious balance with notes of cinnamon and a beautiful length of cocoa, while the tannins are well integrated.

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2019 (August 2018) : 17/20. The 2008 vintage is very promising. A great success for Syrah Léone, which has retained freshness.

Bettane + Desseauve Guide 2021 (Dec. 2020): 18.5/20. 2008 is a powerful vintage here, less open than the clos-des-cistes but with greater density, a still vigorous mouthfeel. Unique nose from this estate, palate of ink and graphite, with a contained energy that impresses. We are not ready to see the end of it.Peak from 2018 to 2030.
Food and wine pairings: daube and lamb stew, andouillette and sausage, grilled meats and lamb chops, rib of beef, veal chop.
