Hot with % showing, but some complexity and a waxy note.
rich, oily with almond and biscuit notes,. Classy wine which manages its high % well
young burgundy, the oak and fruit are lovely, just maybe a year or two to fully integrate. Clean modern wine, complex and long.

Young crunchy fruit, cherry. nice drop but simple
Pencil shavings on the nose (Cab Franc?). Nice balance if not a great year a nice effort.
fruit resolved, deep raspberry, A certain undertow of varnish and stone. A great modern rioja at its most complex.
A very cool Syrah, classy and restrained. Complex but not showy. It was decanted for 4 hours, so plenty of time left.
Expressive menthol and cherry on nose. Continues through on the sweet palette. A joy to drink.
not overly sweet, fruit is bitter orange. with caramel. long interesting finish.
full on aromatics, citrus and flowers, a fully sweet and glamorous wine,
(see all 6 vintages)
