  August 6, 2016 - Fine crimson, bit of purple. Violets, black fruits, black pepper, savoury. Real N Rhone character. Fresh and lively still. Fine acidity and notable tanninic structure. Decent value too.

  May 12, 2016 - Masses of pepper on the nose - typically savoury - palate a bit lighter than you might then expect.

  November 23, 2015 - Very clearly syrah. Nice medium body, very light on its feet, quite nimble, and everything very well judged. Cherry, pink peppercorns, dried red flowers. Delicious now. £15 pound at Majestic. Great Value.

  August 14, 2015 - Needed aerating to allow it to open up, but after that a good wine.
  
  Forward red fruit palate, with good acidity. Little bit of liquorice on the initial palate. Subtle oak in the middle.
  
  Not quite as much pepper on the palate as come to expect with style of wine. Overall though a good fruit forward wine, and great value for money.
