Annual Coravin blitz - day one (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Ooh, fruit is far more to the fore than last tastings (when it was all about the pepper). Don't get me wrong this still has green and black peppercorns underpinning but black fruit is on top with a dollop of cream. In the mouth it's slightly sour black berry backed by peppercorns and less exciting that the nose. Hmm.

Syrah for steak (KC's place): From Coravin. Smells like slightly sour blackberry beneath plentiful peppery spice as well as a certain earthy quality. Juicy, peppery, savoury; again the fruit is a little muted for me but this is rather pleasant.

Black pepper along with concentrated, racy syrah fruit (blackberries, blackcurrants, etc.) Compares well with NZ syrah from Hawkes Bay. Fromm really are the Red Kings of Marlborough.
