Similar to first bottle, but aging into its tannins some. More pomegranate this time. Give this one some time open, and it will. Rich, earthy red fruit.

Clear medium light red. Great Syrah nose, pepper, smoked meat and berry fruit. Dry pepper, berry and beef broth flavours. Very tannic but still acid driven finish.
Surprising.

Medium-bodied ruby. Curiously mixed nose - initially some wood with some violets and other floral notes, then becomes more fragrant. Berries, although fruit not to the fore; slightly dusty. A medium-bodied, dry and tight taste. Savoury and nice silky tannins. Good structure, and some sour fruit - but not a huge amount of fruit until later when it starts to show (then generally blackberries). Sour, pleasant finish.

Medium-bodied ruby. Woody and savoury nose with some violet and fragrant floral notes; some berries, although fruit not to the fore; slightly dusty. Medium-bodied and dry taste. Savoury, with silky tannins. Decent structure but not a lot of fruit - although some deep black fruits break through after a while. Sour finish.

Medium red. Light red fruit forward nose. Hints of tire rubber, earth and juicy cassis. Nice red fruit flavours. A nicely balanced dry finish.
Should improve.

Weekly tasting group RWP #277; Northern vs Southern Rhone (@ My place): The bouquet is a bit locked, but shows some vanilla, leather and minerals. On the palate beautiful and juicy acidity and slightly sticky tannin with a good bite. 88+

Super tight. Needs time.
Nice wine. Red fruit nose lots of tannins. Leave for a year or two.

Medium light red. Earthy, peppery, red fruit nose. Delicious earthy red fruit flavours and a nice dry but slightly rich finish. Really nice.
