PNP but this would have benefited from a decant as it took 3 or so glasses for it to settle down and integrate. Initially quite syrupy with a bit of heat. White pepper and leather as it evolved during the evening. Better on day 2, softer and more balanced. Still finished a little sharp.

Bright garnet; plenty of red fruit, white pepper; follows through onto palate, medium bodied, refreshing, a certain purity; finishes with aplomb. Time i hand.

Shared 6 with Will. Didn't know what to expect and....mid ruby colour, doesn't look over extracted etc. Syrah nose, spice, tar and fine ripe black red fruits. Not powerpacked but good and quite fine. Palate follows. Medium bodied and not as forward as nose. Try next one in 2022/23. A good, well made wine. Easy to drink and all in place. Could do with slightly more ooomph but that's being fussy.

Vanilla, oak on the nose. Very smooth, strong red fruit, vanilla, cloves on the palette. A balanced wine with a buttery medium length finish.
