Purchased at winery this year. Was a tad bit thinner than I remember. V - Clear with bits. Deep ruby. Medium meniscus and high viscosity. P - Meat, olive, can tell a bit of the age. Plum and cherry are still a tad tart, not surprising for an 11.

Acidic, just not integrated, biting on tongue, just surprised with bottle age this has and for amount of time it has sat in cellar. Just ok, not sure this will do anything else at this point

decanted for one hour. Was expecting a fruit forward wine. Has a nice pepper spice, very oaky and earthy. Mild tannins. Acidic. I think this needs to mature over few years. Hoping 2012 is better.

Lovely pure fruit on the nose and initial taste but thin for a cab/syrah combo. Disappointingly fast finish. Drinking nicely now. Unlikely to improve with age.

Typisk, men lite tråkig.
