Regular dinner group (By Me @ van der Dussen): Beautiful bouquet with dark fruits, some smoke and tobacco. On the palate dark fruits, sweet licorice, black pepper, a beautiful balance between acidity and sweetness and round tannin with a soft bite. Full bodied and a good length. Completely ready now and the next 2+ years.

Gorgeous Syrah, very true-to-type. juicy, brambly fruit, black pepper, new-world-like, but not overdone. Well balanced, great length, concentration and mouthfeel.

Regular dinner group (@ My place): Powerful and complex bouquet with dark fruits and herbs and spices. On the palate licorice and a lot of sweetness, but also good acidity. Silky soft tannin. A very tempting wine.

Syrah/Shiraz tasting @ my place (Netherlands): Gorgeous, complex nose of balsamic vinegar, grafite, blackberries, cherries, blueberries, licorice, cinnamon and a large dollop of caramel. Some BBQ later. Tannines still very young, structure is good and length is more than above average! Great wine. 18/20

Donkerpaars, tranend. Zwoel, sexy bosfruit, volle body, zoet en wat alcoholisch, ook drop en chocolade. Stevige, goed geïntegreerde tannines.
