  Pretty damn good Shiraz.
  Dark fruit in abundance, lovely mid to full texture on the palette, spice and herbs with a long finish.

  Decanted 2 hours. Still young but already very good. Make sure to give it enough air (2 hours in the decanter were ok) if you open a bottle now. I'm pretty sure this will be even better with 5 more years in the cellar. 93 pts. at the moment.

  WSET reunion tasting group+ (Home, Utrecht): Deep purple. Black cherries, tea, ceder, smoke, a lot of fruit. Long finish. Especially the nose is deep and broody, the palate does not completely live up the expectations set by the nose

  Deep ruby in the glass. Fairly young wine, but still approachable at this stage I’d say. Has great structure holding it together - high acid, high tannins - but the primary fruit is already turning into that dried plum, cherry, cooked strawberry. You can put a 10-year potential on this easily when the acidity will soften up a bit, but after that it will slowly start declining.
