March 23, 2024 - Dunkelrot im Glas. Opak. Eine Nase von Pflaumen und Brombeeren, überlagert von einer rauchigen, schokoladigen Note. Darüber ein bisschen Pfeffer und ein Spritzer Eukalyptus. Fantastisches Säurespiel in Balance mit sanften aber präsenten Tanninen. Ein langer Abgang, der bis zum nächsten Schluck andauert. Komplex, komplett und wohl ausbalanciert. Einer der besten Syrah, die ich bis jetzt getrunken habe.

Dark red in the glass. Opaque. A nose of plums and blackberries, overlaid with a smoky, chocolatey note. A little pepper and a splash of eucalyptus on top. Fantastic acidity in balance with gentle but present tannins. A long finish that lasts until the next sip. Complex, complete and well balanced. One of the best Syrah I've drunk so far. -

December 11, 2022 - Robe rubis très foncée presque opaque. Le premier nez est sur les bretts, de la violette et du cuir. Les bretts se sont dissipés avec de l'aération. Une bouche moyenne épicée, légère, simple. J'aurais aimé plus de matière pour un vin de ce prix.

February 11, 2022 - I love this. Full Syrah characteristics, pepper, chocolate, purple fruit. A hint of barnyard on opening but it quickly subsided. This may overpower my dinner but it will be worth it.
