Decanted for 30 mins. Lovely raspberry strawberry nose. Syrah prickle on the tongue but does not deliver much fruit in the mouth and finishes with quite austere tannin. Very acceptable with full flavoured foods but I was hoping for better harmony.

Berry fruit compote with strong black pepper notes. A musky aroma put me off slightly. Decent enough initial attack but seemed a touch thin thru the mid palate, and then withers away too quickly on the finish. We'll see where this goes.

Give this at least 30 mins of air to blow off the bottle stink and it's pretty lovely

This has come round since last bottle. Much more harmonious with good balance of black fruit and mellow tannins.
