  A big big wine. Brambles, dust, black fruit. The wine is hot at 15.5% and this detracts from the fruit. Clearly well made. Tannins are dusty but not too persistent. I have one other bottle that I’ll leave for 5 or so years to see how it develops.

  Perfectly acceptable red of brambles and baking spice. Lithe with a nice dusting of tannins at the end.

  Beautiful red color. The wine has delicious notes of strawberry and crushed Black pepper. There is hints of pretty flowers. The taste is massive with quite insisting tannins and rather High alcoholspikes…

  Exuberant, likeable and possibly a bit much - like a big slobbery Golden Retriever - deep, rich, saturated fruit and fresh new leather, with the balance between darker toned Syrah notes and pulpy red Grenache very satisfying. A touch of sweetness on a full, flowing body and wave upon wave of grainy tannin with ample acidity. You'd expect 5 years (or more) to do this a lot of good.
