    Michel Picard 1999 Syrah (Vin de Pays d'Oc)

    The berry fruit is rather mute and marked by sour herb and woody accents. There's also a slight meatiness but the overall impression is thin. As with too many Southern French offerings, it needs more fruit density to be taken seriously. Closes short with very light licorice-vanilla notes.
