Saint Cosme 2011 Cotes du Rhone

Variety: Syrah
Region: A bit tricky as it does not appear to be from an AOC but rather from the EU standard for showing regional origin ( Appellation d'Origine Protégée)
Vintage:  2011
Colour: Purple 
Alcohol: 14.0%
Bouquet: Some cedary notes with redcurrant  and potentially blackcurrant aromas
Flavour: Tar, plum and black pepper. The tar heavily lines the tongue. Relatively short and simple.
Points: 84 (3+7+11+6.5+6.5+50)
Notes: Quite ok but there is a huge selection of this style of Syrah on the local market
