Heavy fruit fragrance but tasted lighter than expected, medium body. Fruity with a significant presence of pepper both in fragrance and taste. Long finish. May be nice to some but not my kind of wine.

Explosive nose as blackcurrants meet smoke. Sets me thinking of South African shiraz. Quite precise and fine on the palate. Nice balance though medium to light-bodied, almost dilute, which was at odds with the spectacularly intense nose. Not really a fan of the style. Close but no cigar. (apr '10)
