Brief notes. Dense crimson with a ruby rim. Traces of cowyard, (mild Brett?) also blackberry and black pepper notes. A rich palate of medium plus intensity - savoury and earthy notes and black olive. A fantastic food wine. Love this style. One of the better world expressions of Syrah. Have my last bottle in early 2028.

The. Real. Deal. Very firm tannin, as expected. Fine grained and supple. Such a fantastic nose, it certainly delivered all that is promised. If only my time machine was working today I’d have gone forward ten years for a taste...
