June 15, 2015 - A blend of 85 percent Syrah and 15 percent Grenache. This wine was nearly undrinkable in its youth (totally over-oaked) ; the oak influence is more rounded now (although still quite present) and the tannins are better integrated. Intense dark red in color and a complex bouquet of plum, wild herbs, leather and some earthy tones. The powerful palate shows ripe black fruit intermixed with peppery notes and a touch of menthol. Long, slightly drying finish. This wine needs to be decanted at least two hours in advance. Drink it now through 2017.
Samenstelling: 85 percent Syrah en 15 percent Grenache. Deze wijn was in zijn jeugd quasi ondrinkbaar (overdreven eiktoets); de houtinvloed is nu beter geïntegreerd (hoewel nog steeds zeer present) en de tannines zijn meer afgerond. Intens donkerrood van kleur en een complex bouquet van pruimen, wilde kruiden, leder en wat aardse tinten. Een krachtige wijn vol rijp zwart fruit, vermengd met nuances van peper en ook een vleugje menthol. Lange, lichtjes uitdrogende afdronk. Deze wijn moet minstens twee uur op voorhand gedecanteerd worden. Te drinken: nu tot 2017.1 person found this helpful Comment -

February 23, 2014 - Fruit beginning to tame but still richly extracted and showing some gamey complexities. Dark red fruits are vibrant and refreshing. Lots of ripe tannins. Pepper dominates spicy component. I'm saving my last bottle till 2017 but nobody will be disappointed drinking it now. Got lamb?
