  Wow, either this is an off bottle or it has changed enormously since previous sampling. Acidity has not faded, but has become disjointed, which has me wondering whether it might have been added post fermentation. With the fruit gone, this has instead acquired an unpleasant vegetal note. If had to score it, would give at most 84 or 85, but will not enter a score as I am not sure whether this is age related or simply a flawed bottle.

  Too much oak but a very good bottle. Long life ahead.

  High pitched nose of herbs and flowers. The oak has integrated much better than I recall from a few years ago. Elegant middle weight textures. Perfectly balanced finish with good tannic structure and loads of acidity. I wonder how this is possible in such a hot year - maybe added acidity? In any event, wow, cliche to say this, but drinks like a much pricier Cote Rotie. Fanstistic QPR contributing to the high score. I believe the acidity will allow this to age for several more years.

  2 hour decant. This Syrah with a touch of Viognier is quite an amazing drink, which is why I sought it out - there's a bouquet in the nose of flowers and wine - in the mouth it's full, deep, grippy, with a decent finish - all that said, I'd hoped for something just a little more amazing than this - the Telhas (a similar concept blend) is, I think, slightly better.
