Ivy Sommelier tasting (Mumu, George Street): cherry, oak, possible whole bunch, blue fruit, then just seems to fall apart, tomato sauce, sour on the palate, too much alcohol is just plain odd with the other components

87+ today, with upside. Ripping acid. Underripe good quality fruit. No smoke taint but it's a bit bracing I suppose due to early harvest. Could sort itself out with a couple years in the cellar. If you like cool climate syrah it might be worth seeing where this one goes.

Agree w Arasse’s note. in theory could get better but just not a lot of fun to drink now. Our friend called “smoked Gouda” and my wife called “funky”.

Tasty red berry on the nose and savory palate with whole cluster notes and refreshing tannins and acidity on the moderate finish.

As savory and refreshing as the last bottle!
