Deep garnet. Very pronounced nose - dark berry fruits, black pepper, leather, earth, some game hints too. Rich on the palate but with a nice balancing acidity that keeps it fresh. The tannins are evident but ripe and support the texture very well. Long finish.
Interesting to try this after a very good 2015 St Joseph from Domaine du Tunnel. This was much the bigger wine but the the St Joseph was more elegant and classical. Both lovely in different ways.

Opened and let it breathe for 5-6 hours. Purple, supple and full-bodied. Really nice Shiraz. My guess is we’re at or near peak. I don’t see any reward for waiting any longer.

Ayayaye que c'est puissant ! Fruits noirs, tannins rudes, graphite/minéralité +, c'est pas proche d’être prêt a boire. Dans l'état, je ne suis pas un fan, attendre 10 voir 15 ans.
