A very clean pure dark red. On the nose: scented leather, black fruit, slightly metallic edge. Medium full body, blackcurrant fruit and leaves. Good length.

This is 100% Syrah and according to the winery does 6 months in vats before 12 months in small to mid sized barrels, a mix of new and slightly older oak.
This is very vibrant, even exuberant at first. Still a deep red colour. The nose shows quite ripe purple berries. Very fruit driven. A touch of yeasty warmth but the alcohol level as stated is only 13.5%. The palate is a bit warm and over ripe, veering towards slightly stewed fruits.
Not objectionable, just seems a bit muddled right now. For me I would drink up but it may regain composure.

Väldigt trevlig. Varm och fruktig. Lite svag i syran kanske

These wines are supposed to be well in their drinking window but all the bottles i opened lately (from a pro cellar) seemed to be "cooked".

Decent, but not as interesting or complex as the 2011. 2012 is not a great year in the south of France.
