Domaine Cambis, Carnet de Voyages, St-Chinian Berlou, Languedoc, France 2023

Deep and black as night, this is a majority Syrah blend that's been aged for 12 months in old French oak demi-muids. It's large and intense, and the black cherry fruit is edged with smoke and char and meaty characters. It's almost thick in texture, but still silky in tannin.
