Delicious - in the 92-93 range for me, but for a very good QPR, I settle on at least 94. Vibrant fruit as you’d expect for such a blend, unexpected is the density and length of flavour - it’s vibrant, bold, fruit forward, and - although lacking a lingering complexity - has enough integrated tannins and spice to add a layer of interest. The smooth and velvety mouth feel is the real winner for mine. Absolutely worth a look at this stage - will undoubtedly cellar, but integration is there and I wouldn’t expect much improvement, although it doesn’t need it. Great drinking window now

Aiolos Tasting (Intercontinental Hotel): The wien shows depth, black fruit, earthy, spicy, some balsamic notes, palate shows density, aggressive tannins, med body, alcohol warmth, med finish

Open to drink with team at Oinoscent during service GSM plus Viognier The wine shows vibrant profile, dense fresh fruit core packed with black cherries and strawberries, a touch floral, licorice, minty with a few ripe peach notes. The wine is very smooth and juicy in the palate, it shows silky tannins, black cherries, thin oak frame, herbal bitterness, a bit of alcohol heat (14.50%) but overall well in balance, nice acidity, medium finish. Not overly complex and mutlilayered, but a joy to drink

High acid and beat, delicious deep dark Berry flavours, strong plum undertones, beautiful colour. Yes it's young. But highly drinkable now. Good acidity to cut through a fatty steak.

Approachable now. Loads of peppery Shiraz on the nose and palate, with plenty of ripe black fruit, plum jam, and warm alcohol. It’s well balanced and drinkable, if lacking a little in complexity.
