Classic syrah/shiraz nose with plenty of pepper, raw meat, smoke and dark fruit. A powerful wine with smokey, meaty character, plenty of balanced fruit and good acidity. Long aftertaste. I read some notes that it may be mistaken for a northern Rhone, but I disagree. While the fruit is fairly cool in style, there is still a lot of it and in combination with the high alcohol (14.5%) I would never guess France. Requires some bbq meat or similar. A lot of stuff going on in the glass, but it is also quite young at present. Was better on day 2, and will likely get better with a few more years in the cellar.

Doft: Peppar, röda bär och toner av charkuterier. Smak av vitpeppar, hallon, svarta vinbär och mörka körsbär. Lång eftersmak av röd frukt och vitpeppar.
Rikigt bra vin! Bra med syra och tanniner. Detta gillar jag skarpt! Vore klart intressant att köpa några flaskor och låta det ligga, känns som att det kan bli ännu bättre med några år på nacken.

Lovely and intense wine with loads of pepper, ceder and lively red and black fruit. This reminds of a really good wine from northern Rhône, but better than most.

Strong wine. Medium+ body, medium+ acidity. Shiraz nose. Needs food. Will stay till 2025.

Good balance. Still very young, but quite promising.
