Way to young & completely shut down. Needs at least 3-5 years in the cellar or open the bottle two days in advance. Very much Northern-Rhone style.

The most structured; red fruits and blood, firm fine tannin. Needs more age but lots of potential

Den helt klart mest kraftfulla i serien. Peppar, järn, rosor. Betydligt mkt mer torra tanniner.

Feb 2nd, 2019Very much Northern Rhone. Peppery, smokey. Give it a few years, and it’ll rise more.

Jun 14th, 2018Young, cool climate Syrah from SA. Dark cherries, blackberries, plum, bacon and cured meats w/ a herbal note present. Medium-bodied, medium tannins, medium alcohol and not too much oak. A wine in balance. Very fresh acidity aswell. Could have gone Cornas in a blindtasting. Far too young. Hold.

2012 vintage opened in November 2016 - lovely, but a bit too young.
