  Quite perfumed nose. To me this seems to be at the start of prime drinking window - medium bodied, subtle herby notes with some smoky characteristics that tended to make this better with food.

  Starting off it's no Margaret, that's for sure. However I have high hopes that in 5 years it's a close second. Grippy, powerful tannins and dark brooding pencil shavings. Fruit is struggling through and needs some time to develop.
  Minimum 3 more years before I would revisit. Definitely has some potential.

  Wow, it's "heavy metal music" wine. Black pepper is in your nose and on your tongue. Black coffee in your mouth. I drink 2nd glass and I still don't know what to think about it. I paid €30, but it definitely can beat some more expensive Bordeaux. Full body with high concentration of flavors. Besides pepper and coffee, a lot of herbs red and black currant, red cherry. No sweet aromas here!( very weird and a downside) Acidity and tannins are visible not sooner like at the end, this spice and midium long
  Aromas - besides black pepper a lot of herbs, minerals, red currant, tabacco and vanilla.
  It looks like everything is interesting and good, but I'm missing something with this wine taste. It could be cassis and black cherry.

  Juicy Bordeaux blend with loads of fine drying tannin. Lovely chocolate savoury oak support. Agree that this needs time and will get better.

  17 Clementine
  Mid weight, black olive, cement and seaweed. Savoury length for days. Slightly green note. Very good, with pent up potential. Will look again on Juices cellar in 5 years. Shared at end of year WineGeeks. 92. Young. Wait 5.
