Herv Souhaut 2007 Syrah

The Dard & Ribo I bought were science experiments gone bad. Really bad.

Maybe if I lived within 25 kilometres of the winery, I might try the wines again. Your mileage may vary.

I've been very lucky in this regard. All the D&R I've had (baring one) have been fine. With a couple just being mind bendingly good. Storage being A Number 1 priority. The one that was f'ed up was bought from a place with dubious heating/cooling issues.

Did that one, perchance, happen to taste like sparkly spinach soup with rancid ham?

Thankfully, no. Though I am curious (slightly) as to what sparkly spinach soup would taste like. No, the offending bottle tasted nutty. Oddly enough like tempeh. So, nutty fermented soybeans. Kind of what it's like if you don't finish a bottle in one sitting; if you try to get to it the next day.

Maybe Sharon's 'hiatus' was just a cover for Guilhaume's actual hiatus. A decoy. Alright, who pissed off the Parisian?
