October 6, 2023 - Friday dinner meetup at Hertford. Thick wax seal cork closure. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of dark green olives, black olive tapenade, meat, dark red cherries. Developed.
On the palate, dry, medium acidity, high alcohol (15%), smooth fine high tannins, sneaky full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of peppery spices, sweet plums, dark red cherries, dark green and black olives. Long spicy peppery finish.
Very good quality. Was well received by the audience. Good that it has classic Syrah varietal characteristics, and not a fruit bomb considering the scary 15% alcohol on the label. Acidity sensation could be better. Likely at peak as good as it gets already. Drink and enjoy.
