Nose of bay leaf, liquorice root, and blackcurrant. Syrah* shows clearly and it almost reminds me of carbonic macerated wines. Violets and squid ink, blackberry leaves. Oak is not very pronounced, but it’s certainly there. Medium+ in body and alcohol with medium acidity and tannin. Eucalyptus, cigar wrapper, dry pu’er tea with its earthiness. 8+/18 but I like this one more than the Pine Ridge we just had.
*I could swear I’ve read somewhere that the wine has a significant proportion of Syrah, but I am struggling to find a tech sheet right now and most sources only mention Cab and Merlot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Japanese Road Trip Day Two (Nagoya): Cream, sweet spice, blackcurrant, a little liquorice and amaro bitter note with time, slight coconut, and very slight plum on the nose,. Juicy, tangy fruit is slight muted on the palate, a little blackcurrant plums, tannins drying and coarse flour textured though the wine is very slightly dilute. Fruit gains sweetness and ripe with time. Hmm.

Very light tasted too much vanilla ~ not worth the price
