I've seen plenty of Nebbiolo from the Malakoff site but not much Syrah. It's a refreshing change in some respects.
I was unable to locate the correct bottle pic but you get the idea from above.
Violets, dried purple flowers and blueberry jam have me in the zone. Dried figs, dried fruits, black plums, and charcoal all make a surge forward on opening. A day on and those dried fruits take a back seat. Quite drying, fine spices rumble through the mouth and clutch to a longer than expected finish. A flash of warmth lingers too. It's the type of wine that has me thinking of a souvla - that cool night satisfaction of kicking back and watching meat spin over coals - if you're a carnivore like me I suppose.
