Earthy on the nose, palate - lovely acid streak, some blood and iron in there, as well as the faintest whiff of spice. A little dilute on the finish, which makes this tasty rather than thrilling.

This really started to shine after 2 hours in the decanter. While not incredibly concentrated, it is a good showing for the vintage. Wonderful nose of wild game & roasted meat with classic peppery finish. N. Rhone Syrah just as I like it.

still quite tannic, overpowering the underlying dark fruit. Give this another 4-5 years, and decant well in advance of drinking

Smoky and perfumed. Really enjoyed this after 2 hours of decanting.

Proper. Traditional.
Dark and smoky , alluring. Serious nose and palate, deep and brooding. Young yet but enjoyable .
Very good .
