Lobenberg: Was für eine Granate. Ein Komplexitätswunder der Weinwelt. Das Bouquet lädt zum Verweilen ein. Dunkelfruchtig, würzig, sehr kühl, also wie von der Nordrhône. Kein Wunder, französisches Barrique war im Einsatz. Am Gaumen hat man etwas zimtiges, dann reife Sauerkirsche. Ein vibrierender Syrah mit großem Alterungspotenzial. 95/100

Suckling über:
Syrah Le Sol
-- Suckling: Enticing ripe blackberries and plums are framed in subtle, sweet baking-spice complexity and dusted in fine, white-pepper notes. The palate has suave, smooth and concentrated dark berries, presented in a very neatly articulated array of ripe, regal tannins. Great depth and resolve. Pure syrah. Drink now. 95/100

Parker über:
Syrah Le Sol
-- Parker: The 2016 Le Sol is perhaps the most confident, self-assured expression of Syrah to yet emerge from this benchmark producer. I say that because it no longer relies on weight, power and extraction for its impressiveness, but rather on its wonderful fragrance and elegance. Perfumed notes of violets and cracked pepper lead the way, backed by anise and black cherries. It's medium to full-bodied, with a rich, velvety mouthfeel and tremendous length, echoing with hints of clove, cinnamon and sassafras. 94/100

Galloni über:
Syrah Le Sol
-- Galloni: An impressive wine with a firm and powerful structure. While it has an elegant core, the overall impression is dark and brooding, with masses of gravelly tannin holding it all together, making for a wine that begs for bottle age. A lengthy finish offers classic, pepper spice, violets and fresh blackberries that fill the mouth with scent. 94/100

Falstaff über:
Syrah Le Sol
-- Falstaff: Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Ein Hauch von Kokos, schwarzbeeriges Konfit, ein Hauch von Kirschen und Kräutern, noch etwas zurückhaltend. Saftig, extraktsüß, elegant, straffe Weine, reife Tannine, salzig-mineralisch, insgesamt noch ein klein wenig unterentwickelt, zitroniger Touch im Nachhall. 94/100
93 /100
Decanter über:
Syrah Le Sol
-- Decanter: This was the first time that stems were use in Le Sol. A low-yielding vintage due to a cool and wet start to the season and then a dry, warm finish. A mid-weight Syrah with pepper, cinnamon spice and blackberry fruit. A sinewy finish with skin tannins providing a savoury, mouthcoating finish. 93/100
