  Completely ready to go now, at age 8 and a half. And still some left in the tank for a few extra miles. Healthy profound ruby colour, looking quite youngish. Complex but shy nose with berry fruit, smoke and gamey notes (no brett, the nose is very clean). Full-bodied strictly dry, rather fresh taste. Red berries dominate, a few fine-grained tannins stretch the finish to a decent length. Very good effort!

  Not quite sure what to make of this. Concentrated, but pretty high acid as well. I'lll try the rest of the bottle tomorrow.

  La bomba. Dark berry fruit mixes with subtle spices (paprika, ground pepper) on the nose. Full-bodied, very dense, but very refreshing at the same time. Dry to the bone, great balance of all its elements. Great grape/region representation. Unfortunately, not as popular in Asia as it is in Europe.

  At Brasseriet Lipp, Paris
  
  Deep red / purple.
  
  Very rich nose with distinkt syrah character, (red) berry fruit is the dominating aroma
  
  Appears very young and rich on the palate, the tannins are very smooth for such a young wine. Very powerful with a broad range of fruits and spices.
  
  Drinking well now, but will improve much from some years in the cellar
