Domaine de la Baume 'La Jeunesse' Syrah 2021

93 POINTS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Upfront and richly expressed, showing dark berry, olive, smoked meat and roasted nut aromas, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate that's supple and flavoursome. Splendidly structured, finishing long and attractively robust. At its best: now to 2030. "
 - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
