Clos Saouma Syrah Aliqua 1.5L 2016
Clos Saouma Syrah Aliqua 2016 is a rare and highly sought-after RhĂŽne Syrah crafted by Mounir and Rotem Saouma, the visionary team behind both Clos Saouma and the renowned Burgundian nĂ©gociant house Lucien Le Moine. Produced in the exceptional 2016 vintage, the wine reflects the Saoumasâ philosophy of combining RhĂŽne power with Burgundian precision and elegance.
The wine displays an intensely aromatic bouquet of blackberry, black cherry, blueberry, violet, cracked black pepper, smoked meat, olive tapenade, and exotic spice. The palate is rich and concentrated yet remarkably refined, with layers of dark fruits, licorice, graphite, herbs, and savoury complexity supported by silky tannins and vibrant freshness. Despite its depth and power, the wine maintains exceptional balance and mineral precision, leading to a long, persistent finish.
Now with significant bottle age, the 2016 vintage is beginning to reveal additional tertiary nuances of leather, earth, spice, and cured meat while retaining impressive fruit intensity. In magnum format (1500ml), the wine evolves more slowly and gracefully, offering outstanding cellaring potential for another decade or more. It is a profound expression of Syrah that bridges the richness of the RhĂŽne with the finesse and texture often associated with great Burgundy.
