Seller: MorganLGR 5

**Last 2 bottles available** - François Villard Saint-Joseph “Reflet” 2015 – Dark, Spicy, and Seriously Good Syrah

**Final bottles available** A punchy yet polished Northern Rhône Syrah, Reflet 2015 brings together dark berries, cracked pepper, violets and a touch of smoky lift. It’s concentrated without feeling heavy, and the whole-cluster spice gives it real personality. A vibrant, expressive bottle from one of the Rhône’s most consistent modern producers. ⸻ Provenance & Storage Professionally stored in a UK climate-controlled warehouse since purchase. No temperature swings, no mishandling, no mystery gaps in its history—exactly the kind of care you want behind a Syrah built to age. ⸻ Critic Highlights Vinous – Josh Raynolds (91–93 pts) “Intensely perfumed… whole-cluster spice, cracked pepper, violets and ripe dark berries. Concentrated and lively on the palate with polished tannins and a long, spicy finish.” iDealwine Critic Panel (93/100) “Silky attack, spicy notes and a rounded, complex palate. Concentrated aromas of candied black fruit with excellent purity and balance.” ⸻ Price Justification Those lower prices you sometimes see are the wholesale in-bond case numbers. Once you add duty, VAT and proper storage, the real retail range is £35–£50—so the price here is simply the honest, duty-paid reality (not the fun part, I know).
