Sharp blackcurrant for on the nose with really small berries, really tight tannins and the acidity is also puckering. Blew my mouth away, could this have another 5-10 years? Only if the bitterness dissipates. Also savoury at times to give it some complexity, an unexpected serious wine!

Myanmar Wine!; 4/27/2018-5/5/2018 (Myanmar ( Yangon, Bagan, Kalaw, Inle Lake)): By the glass at The Inle Princess, Myanmar. Fresh bottle. Not the typical Syrah ( as expected ) more of a darker heavy handed Grenache feel. Quite of an overripe almost burnt feel and it feels they tried to compensate for the expected lack depth by adding ripeness/ hang time. Decent effort but a long way to go . Welcome to the tropics wine and so far the whites ( sauv blanc ) win. Unsurprisingly. 84 for this valiant effort with lots of respect .
