  Number 2 for the night. Shiraz grenache blend. Deeper heavier tannins. Scrumptious fruit. Yummy.

  Retailer tasting (Vianen): Special bouquet with almost sun boiled fruits. Same on the palate. The wine is enormously concentrated and there is acidity, but imho it lacks a bit in freshness. This certainly is something special and possibly I have to learn to love it. Hope to taste again at a more relaxed moment. No score for today.

  Dark, inky purple. Probably on the verge of being overripe - it's a bit wine that lacks a bit of freshnees but still very tasty. Raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, licorice, savoury meaty tannins. Just lacks a bit of finesse and follow through for a higher score. Enjoyable though with a bit juicy steak.

  Bright Red color with scents of black currant and cedar.
  The taste of cherry, black currant, cedar, fleshy.
  It is a very nice full and heavy wine with a beautiful range of scents and flavors. Seems very much like a top-Rhône wine.

  Langton's Classification Tasting (Carraigeworks, Sydney): Very tight nose and palate. Cranberry and cherry, smoke and spice. Palate has some rich fruit but there is good structure as well. Give it time.
