Much better on day two. It was a little prickly yesterday.
Savoury and earthy.

Had the 2013. Still young, but excellent character.

A bit closed. After an hour still not a lot on the nose. If anything, maybe a bit meaty. Tannins are smooth, not prominent at all at first but reappear on the tail. Fruit is limited. But a very nice light smoky, earthy, tea and faint menthol cherry. An enjoyable wine with dinner but missing something special.

Always a good quaffing Rhone Syrah to compare to Aussie Shiraz
And nice change which is softer and more nuanced than regular fare

Ruby in colour. Blackberries, smoky, smoked meat, black pepper sign of barrel ageing. Smooth medium tannins.
