  Retailer tasting. Dark ruby colour. Ripe red and dark fruit, coffee, vanilla and pleasant oak spice are complemented by a mild herbal touch, with good acidity, grippy yet fine and well-integrated tannin, and very good length. Plenty of fruit and lots of oak, but integrated and well-balanced. In a good place in the context of its style. I usually prefer my wines more mature, but would drink this now for its good combination of fruit, oak and spice. Plus, I have some concerns about its true aging potential. Quite pricy.

  Great, exciting, ready to drink, charming and a really different Syrah. It is almost like a Tempranillo but very special. Smooth fruit, dense but not too dense structure and very fine tannins. If it were not so expensive I would buy a lot of this.
