Tasting of the Utrecht Wine Society (Utrecht, NL): Tasted blind. Big and fruity, not a lot of oak, juicy and sweet, spicy notes, hint of vanilla, fresh and well-balanced, well made but little or no Syrah typicity - at least if the Northern Rhône is your point of reference.

Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club" 2014-06; South Africa: Shiraz. (@ RvD): Concentrated bouquet with a lot of dark forest fruits and oaky flavors. Same on the palate. Juicy and ripe fruits, herbs and spices, beautiful fresh acidity and also some sweetness. Round tannin. Beautiful wine. Ready now and the next few years.

UWS a random set of wines (@ JB): In fact a lot of everything; primary fruits, mainly raspberry, toast, oak, sweetness and alcohol. Still much too young and I forgot to score the wine, but it must be close to 90 and probably even a bit more.

Beautiful bouquet with herbs and spices and dark berries. On the palate dark berries and spices as well, some bell pepper, juicy acidity and tannin.
