  Thick, fruity and mature with smooth and pleasant tannins. I know many would say that this is past it's peak, but for me this is perfectly mature and ready to drink right now. Lots of black fruits. Black currants, black cherry. Cedar and chocolate.

  Bouquet with a scent of lemon?
  Much tannin in the first mouthful. Not very much aftertaste.
  Too expensive for the quality in my view, do not buy again.

  At the winery, second wine in a tasting. Surprised to the upside. Plush and smopth mouthfeel. Dark cherry, blackberry, herbs. Medium mouthfeel and finish. Good to drink now, wouldnt expect it to add too much complexity

  Made with organic grapes and also contains 15% Syrah. Aromas of black fruits, planked wood and meaty notes. Full-bodied with crushed black fruits and cherry flavours, with hints of mint and cedar. Big tannins are integrating nicely. Well-balanced overall with mouth-watering acidity. Subtle hints of spice on the medium-length finish. Still a bit young, I would give this another year or two in cellar.

  At Kuala Lumpur, Traders Hotel with a wagyu9+. Dark hue. Expressiv nose of a mixed red fruits basket, sap and a maintained dairy end. Mouth structured by a bloody metalic and sap savors, with a deep core of fruits and a silky seductiv enveloppe. Very good (according to the CT scale) perhaps the time will improve the balance, surely the blend.
