Captivating scents of purple flowers and a lift of mint leaves. Nice nose right from the get got. Bit hollow middle, cathes up with a good grip at the end. The non Gaby cuve 15 also spoke in similair vein.

Another year since last time, but developing slowly. Still very young-looking and a rather closed, but from what you can get out of it, a more enjoyable experience than the last bottle.
I think I will be leaving the other half case in remote storage for a few years.

The bouquet is still a bit locked, but there are some red and dark berries, leather and oak. Same on the palate, full bodied, juicy acidity, round and still sticky tannin. Intense and a good length.

To my palate this has mellowed out, now in window. No aged notes really, just round and lush fruit. Nice!

DDM Proeverij ZAF Shiaz vs oude wereld Syrah; 3/21/2023-3/22/2023: Bruinrode kleur, beetje roest.
In de neus best wat jammigs, wat pruim leer en vanille.
In de smaak stevige tanninesnog. Mooie kers, leder, vlezig, koffie.
