Dark ruby. Beautiful syrah nose, herbs, leather, dry spiced fruit, meat. Vanilla. Full tannin heavy palate with fairly balanced acid. Needs more time to come into its prime but will drink beautifully then.

Clear lemon. Tropical fruit, wet stone, ripe green apples, something that reminds me of oak but isn’t, gunpowder. Luscious mouthfeel with the aromas coming through nicely with a marked but not overpowering acid backbone. Honey, rich, also on the finish - which is mouthwatering. Delicious.

Intense floral nose, oak, ripe stonefruit, fennel, melons, some heat. Palate is fat, oily, some fresh acidity to balance sweetness, still some heat. Medium length finish. Difficult to drink a lot of this one, feels big, including the headache! A bit closed? Will try again tomorrow. Better on day 2, acid felt fresher, was also served colder.
