This clearly was a quality wine. Very solid, especially after breathing for an hour or so. Robust and strong - rather French in style. Having been used to lighter Australian / NZ wines perhaps a little too much, the heaviness surprised first but it behaved very well. It felt like being towards the last years of its drinking window.

Great tasting wine. 75% syrah, 19% grenache, 6% mourvedre. Beautiful dark color. Rich fruit, mostly blackberry and some red fruit, licorice and some wood at back end. Decanted for about 1hr and was great. I wish had a bit less alcohol, at 15.2% I still feel the heat as i drink it. Personal preference but would have loved a bit less. Still good wine though
