  Dark red colour, lovely aromas of dark red berries and cherries, some leather. Very concentrated wine with some tannins. Really good match with tenderloin. Good length. Tannins go well with food. Will probably be even smoother with further ageing. Looking forward to the next bottle in a few years.

  Rich red berry fruit, with herbs, leather and a hint of smoke. Amazingly balanced, with no signs of heat or acidity.

  This wine is in an incredible spot. Beautiful tertiary characteristics of worn saddle leather, with wonderful balance. Drink today, it's at its Apex.

  Really enjoying this wine. In a great spot.
  Granite, inky, in colour, browning more on rim.
  Gave it a couple of hours to open up. Purple core but browning on edges.
  Deep floral aromas, and a distinctive herbal, garrigue and savoury element. Smokey and earthy. Very Northern Rhone in aromas.
  Flavour profile more like a northern rhone, but a bit lighter weight and fresher and more berry fruit in taste …. northern climate style syrah.
  Same as before with a dark fruit core, herbs/savoury/garrigue. Riper tannins are mild, drying. Some bitterness on a decent length finish. Says 14.8% alcohol, but no hint of heat, well integrated. Nice overall balance and medium acidity. Nice complexity.
