Red fruits - light in alcohol but doesn't lack fruit flavour. Rich blackcurrant, plum and cherries dominate. Vibrant, fantastic core structure. Sweet fruit! Mineral and silky. Dry tannin sensation but not too aggressive. 30+ second find. 93 points.

nose is elegant and gravy like. Very resolved and ripe. Excellent round texture. Good tannins. Complex and ripe with such meaty and gamey character. What tannins. Sweet fruit. Opulent yet structured and gritty. Still no rush.

A real traditional heavyweight syrah, perfumed with lavender and green olive, plum pudding and cracked pepper. Mouthfilling and bold, very perfumed and streamlined on the palate. Good mid-palate concentration, and high acid despite 15% alc. comes across as both elegant and burly, plenty of length in the finish but not without tongue-numbing heat. Still, gorgeous.

Very precocious. Most of us tasting it thought it to be mid ’90s.
