I had high expectations but unfortunately this Rotie Northern Blend fell a bit short. Medium to full body, with nice structure. However, the wine failed on flavor and depth, and did not live up to my expectation for a decent Syrah (a bit too tannic and bland).

Dark purple with ruby highlights. Spice, blueberry, and cedar nose. Medium bodied, blackberries, pepper, blueberry jam, grainy tannins, smoke, sage, and a long dry finish. Well made and tasty.

Beaucoup de matiere, extraction un peu intense. Rappelle peu les arômes du Rhône, et beaucoup plus une syrah australienne. Quand même excellent sur 3 jours, meilleure une fois qu’il a perdu un peu de gras de bébé.

Medium garnet. Stewed currants, coffee, balsamic and chocolate on the nose, showing some oxidation.
Syrupy palate with stewed red and black fruits. The structure is fairly flat now, with a ruby port aspect. Cork is clean so this bottle is drink now.
