($50):  This Rhône blend — Syrah (76%), Mourvèdre (15%), and Grenache — delivers both power and elegance.  Layers of flavors emerge with each sip, which harmonize and complement each other.  The earthy, almost animal-like nuances, offset the ripe black fruit qualities.  This is a wine to ponder because much is revealed in its long finish.  Its stature and complexity would show best against simple food, such as pan-seared steak. 93 Michael Apstein Nov 21, 2017
