  At the first day good fruit but stll rather much tannins. Nevertheless it showed quality. At the fifth day a nose with an animal note not far from the border of being disturbing. In the taste good, ripe fruit with mature notes. Quite a big wine with rather much sweetness and not the herbal character that is typical for shiraz. Also with still some dryness in the finish. Because of that and the quite heavy fruit, I am not really a fan of this wine, despite its quality. It demands some more year(s) of cellaring, I guess. But on behalf of the already present mature notes I am in doubt whether the fruit will hold afterwards.

  Dark reddish-purple in color. Initially the nose is very shy aromatically showing glimpses of minerals, violets, black and blue small fruits. Over the course of an hour the nose opens up to show licorice, hint of asian spices and earth. Super elegant on the palate showing silky dark fruits framed with florals, licorice and savory notes, medium acidity, no tannins and a long mineral finish.

  Nice CDP. I don't know what I paid for this one, but it was nice wine following a 3 hour decant.
