  Appearance: medium garnet, a bit hazy.
  Nose: medium+intensity; not much fruit upon opening. Aromas of wet leaves, prune, dry fig. After an hour bottle decanting, the wine starts spenning up. There is fennal, star anise, black pepper, rusted iron, savoury, clove, fully developed.
  Palate: Dry, high acidity, med alcohol, med+ body, med+ tannins (powdery texture), med intensity, dark plum, savoury, rosemary, clove, med+ finish.
  Good wine. Drinks now, not suitable for further ageing.

  Wholly agree with Michael Davidson. It smells and tastes like north Rhone Syrah, though not necessarily Côte-Rôtie, lacking smoke and depth, and thus underwhelming for place and vintage.

  To its credit, tastes like a Rhone syrah. If it said "Crozes-Hermitage" on the front and was half the price, I'd be raving. As it is, varietally correct, not too interesting. You can do better.
