Meaty, gamey, mineral and very floral. Killer nose. Palate less killer. A bit dirty.

Lighter-bodied vs. New World Syrah. After opening, started to show pepper, terroir, herbs. Lovely with the Osso Bucco.

Rustic. Good typicity. Medium body. Fairly extracted but not unbalanced. Solid bistro wine with braised lamb. Feels like I’m in southern France.

Hmm, nice nuance to the flavour; dark fruit; damson etc and green herbs but annoying fat texture. Lacking balance and acidity!

Meaty and earthy. Didn’t open up as much as I wanted it to.

Super fruity nose; jammy red fruit. Black pepper, mild tar, tart cranberry, lil mushroom, red apple skin, very mild dust, tiny bit licorice, mild sweetness on palate followed by medium grip. Lacked finish and complexity. 13'
