  Northern Rhone tasting (Utregs Wijnhuis, Utrecht, NL): Medium intensity with red cherries, black currant, smoke, ceder a hint of nailpolish remover. Medium+ acidity, medium+ tannins, long finish.
  
  A bit too polished for my taste, some people had a BDX resemblance. From 26 ha, 75% whole bunch 17 months on oak, 1/3 new

  Caught between two Northern Rhone stalls, this. Neither rich, spicy and wild nor inwardly intense and refined - it’s nice but a little flat and lacks interest. Dark cherry with a meaty edge, not especially pronounced on the nose. Smooth and nicely concentrated palate. Quite elegant but you’d want more from a wine of this price.

  Slightly muted nose. Lovely medium weight fruit with lots of soft tannins. Good length of finish. Should continue to improve for a few years.

  Nicely concentrated wine. Serious saint joseph. Ripe and lush. Good expression of Syrah and good value
