Very thick and chewy. Needed longer than the 20 minutes airing I gave it - opened up and became more approachable after about an hour. Even so I htink it has probably gone past its best.

Cupissimo granato con lampi rubino. Naso di amarena, cuoio, cacao amaro, pasta d’olive, piccoli frutti rossi, origano. Bocca coerente, leggiadra, di grande leggerezza ed equlibrio. Notevolissimo il finale

An interesting and different wine. This is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Syrah, and 20% Grenache. However it feels like a 100% funky Syrah. On opening the bouquet was intense. It is of barnyard, smoke and stewed fruit. In the mouth, this was all about bloody meat. Over a couple of hours it changed dramatically. Initially the fruit died away and the tannins came out strong. I thought it was over the hill. Then the fruit came right back and this full bodied wine became a real blockbuster. However the big swings make this ultimately somewhat unbalanced. It is what great wine is all about; making you think the whole time you are drinking

Consistent with my previous TN. A great bottle of wine at a good QPR!
