  (Brunner: Mich&Bo's w Ads, Just, Paul and Newan) Dark purple in glass, showing big ripe cherries, dark berries along with some ashy smoke, garrigue, ethylene sweetness and disconcerting heat (14.5%). Pretty, with congruent sweetness on tasting, dark fruits, concentrated, with yet more leather, white pepper and glycerol. Dense, ending nice and savory with a pleasant structure. Yum!

  Dinner at Michelle and Boren's (Sydney, Australia): 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre. Our only old world wine on the night –a rather modern take, but this was still clearly a Southern Rhone when blind. It started out with a big warm nose, full sweet, ripe cherries and red berry aromas along with some glycerol at first, but this blew off somewhat to show a more savoury backdrop of dried earth, warm stones and very Provencale scents of garrigue, pepper and wild. Quite pretty actually. I thought the palate was pretty good. It was still rather primary, but had a clean, clear feel that I like, with simple but pure flavours of red cherries and berries ringing with fresh acidity. It finished with lots of peppery spice sprinkled on a bed of firm, fine tannins. Very structured for a CdR I thought. Pretty good for what it is.

  Didn't find the varied flavor notes that previous tasters experienced. But no complaints for $12. A bit less fruit driven on day 2 with powder coat tannins still coating the tongue. Good QPR.
