Friday, December 13, 2019 - Late night at home with Tim. Drank in Gabriel Standart. Pop and poured and drank over 2 hours.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, initially pronounced intensity with soaring floral violets, the n toned down a bit to medium+ intensity, with other aromas of elegant blood iron meat, dark red cherries, white pepper spice. Developing.
On the palate, dry, juicy high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), soft medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of juicy black cherries, dark red cherries, blackberries, violet juice, white pepper, and some rich meat with air. Medium to medium+ finish only though.
Very good quality. Can still develop and improve over the next 2-3 years, though it seems to me that this is made in a softer elegant earlier drinking style. Floral Syrahs can really turn you on. Possibility of 1% Viognier in this?
