  June 1, 2023 - Syrah Battle: Northern Rhone vs South Africa (Cabotte): Opened as a back-up, and initial impressions were mixed, this wine being on the funky side (and a total contrast to the sleek Mullineux it was paired with). That said, this wine ended up also showing very well once it had settled down, the funk becoming smoky and more seductive, and the high-acid palate becoming juicy and full and developing a tempting flavour of red boiled sweets. Due to the acidity and red fruit this wine was superb with the duck and beetroot dish, too.
