  Interesting, extracted and concentrated - reminiscent of Bordeaux style. Worth a try but nothing very notable about this vintage - worth trying a few different vintages to see what resonates (I think ‘12 was a touch better at the time). If you do pick this one up and have time, I’d wait - feels young and still slightly rough around the edges despite being pretty enjoyable overall.

  Tasted immediately after opening. Opaque purple core, pink rim. Intriguing nose with hints of black forest berries, pine needles, medicine cabinet, eucalyptus and spicy oak. Ripe, dense and viscously textured – lacks a little depth on the mid-palate, but displays both firm structure and impressive length. Interesting and tasty – much like a jacked up Northern Rhone Syrah. However, at nearly $45 a bottle I'm doubtful I'll be buying more.

  Very interesting Austrian autochthonous grape variety. Biodinamic winery. Tobacco, nuts & lush red berries. Thick, fresh & elegant. Well-integrated tannins, medium body.
  Somehow it seems like Bordeaux for me.

  Wine of the Blaufräncish night. Beautiful nose with a palate that wil need some more time to develop.

  Don't know if I'm starting to get bored with this wine...
  Not at all as overwhelming as the last TNs, but I'm not sure why. I get the same feeling of blueberry, sloanberry, maybe some lingonberry, spice and perfume. On the palate, dark fruit, cool, tart, but with some bitterness. Good length, but a bit dissapointing.
