  Compared to a Ferraton Paradis drunk alongside, lighter relaxed and easy. Fruit led, almost cru Beaujolais in style with Syrah flavours. Good to go.

  Blackberry, pepper, olive tapenade and meat. Nice but slightly hot finish

  Muted on opening and needed a good 4 hours in the decanter to open up to a clean and expressive nose of juicy dark cherry and blackberry with sweet game, piquant black olive, dried rose petal and peppercorn. Medium bodied and refined on the palate- polite and restrained, with bright acidity and resolved tannins. This has a certain delicacy and subtlety, to the extent you’d need to be conscious of how you pair it- and on this occasion I’d have liked something a bit more raw, wild and assertive.

  Delicious, regret buying just one bottle.
  
  Plum & blackcurrant, bit meaty & floral aromas. Velvety, med+ body. Gently gripping tannins and excellent acidity - everything in balance. Opened up after a short decant. Typical Rhone Syrah pepper and olives.

  Drinking very well right now, well integrated oak, blackberry, and earthy flavors, went very well with steak au poivre. Recommended.
