  Deep ruby colour. Medium and developing taste of blackberry, eucalyptus, mint, leather, pepper, licorice, chestnut, forest floor and crowberry. Medium taste of blackberry, red plum, eucalyptus, min, leather, forest floor, crowberry, licorice, black pepper, cinnamon and game. Long and dry finish. High acidity. High tannins. Medium body. A very good Saint-Joseph with a good complexity. Needed an hour to open. Drink now or over the next couple of years. Goes well with game.

  Decanted across 2 hours.
  Nose medium intensity yielding aromas of vanilla, oak and baking spices although the fruit is rather extracted and jammy: blackberry, plum, and peppery. All very sweet smelling.
  Palate initially alcoholic, bitter and off balance, in stark contrast to the nose. This is what 15% tastes like in a Shiraz I mean Syrah (sigh).
  Dry, med acidity, high alcohol, med tannins, med body. Med flavor intensity of the muddled variety.
  Acceptable wine.

  Nose of cake batter— vanilla, chocolate— is there any fruit there? Hard to tell, hiding behind a gigantic barrel of oak apparently. Texture, similarly, reminiscent of cake batter. Struggling through a glass of this and will try again tomorrow. Admittedly i often find this appellation heavy-handed but this…. Takes the cake.

  Weit überdurchschnittlich, immer noch mitten in der Fruchtphase, macht sehr viel Spaß.

  Fine, lifted, refined Shiraz. Engages the senses. Perfume of wildflowers.
  Palate reflects the nose. It truly engages the senses. Medium weight Northern Rhone. No pretense. Beautifully engaging as French wines can uniquely be. Well made.
  Now for maybe 10 years.
