Weekly tasting group #176; Mature New World wines (@ WW): Special bouquet with some barnyard, flint stone and smells that remind of an old-fashioned pharmacy. On the palate burnt rubber is the first thing that comes to mind. Also sweet spices, dark forest fruits and some vegetables. The acidity is ok, as well as the soft tannin and mild bitterness but overall not my favorite. Although the acidity and tannin is still ok, the wine is possibly a bit too old? No score.

Smagt op mod Boshendal, Cecil John Reserve 2003. The Joshus var en mere elegant vin, hvor taninerne var blødere. Jeg vurderer at den er på toppen nu, og ikke bliver bedre, omvendt er der ikke noget hastværk med at drikke de sidste da der er nogle år i den endnu.

Igen et fornøjeligt bekendtskab som der desværre nu kun er en tilbage af.

smooth and silky tannins - lived up to the promise that others suggested

Rustic and very concentrated. Not giving much up on the nose but a wonderful, ripe and slightly meaty Syrah/Shiraz
