  Not sure. Everyone agreed this needed to open up and develop. I think all the bits are there but at the moment mineral and tannin dominate to an extent that means other elements ( from nose to after taste) are dominated into apparent non-existence. Will try again end 2025.

  Beautiful bouquet with minerals and metal impressions as well as red and dark berries and herbs and spices. Same on the palate, beautiful and juicy acidity, tannin with a lovely bite, a slight touch of sweetness and a great length. Outstanding wine in its maturity stage and with a future of at least 3+ years.

  DDM Proeverij ZAF Shiaz vs oude wereld Syrah; 3/21/2023-3/22/2023: Wat depot , dieprode kleur, flinke tranen. De geur is dik, flink doorstoofd fruit (kers), een beetje boers, wat vlees en een tikje mint.
  In de mond zwart fruit, braam, dik, machtig, spierballen, mooie tannines, mooie zuurbalans en een prachtige lengte.

  Wow! I didn't know this wine and it surprised me pleasantly.
  Already complex on the nose with floral notes of violets, cherries and black pepper. Smooth texture, very well balanced and flavorful.

  Celebrating Yiannis Karakassis' Master of Wine Entitlement (Food Mafia Restaurant, Glyfada, Greece): A stunning wine. More on the elegant side. On the nose it is reminiscent of a high end Burgundy rather than a syrah. Floral and complex nose with red cherry and verry fruit, spices and herbs. Medium-bodied, soft and balanced with a long aftertaste.
