Nice (relatively) light Syrah with good body. Red fruit and spice. Needs air after opening - give it a couple of hours for best results.

Har mycket Syrah, på ett bra sätt. Inget superkomplext direkt.

Light but has a nice dryness to it. Can definitely pick up on cherry

Fick inte så bra intryck av det här, men hade varit kul att jämföra med Syrah från Norra Rhône. Behöver mat tycker jag.

Dark fruits - blackberry and plum with an oaky finish. Hint of spice. Black fruit also on the nose. Nice flavor and body; affordable.

I agree with ratings from other years that it's a lighter than expected wine. Which a welcome change. But by no means is it trivial. It has huge body, just not icky rich or oaky. Has Syrah pepper spice going on. New world fruit for sure but restrained. Interesting bitter smoke emerged after a while.
