Ruby with aromas of ripe dark fruits and floral spices. On the palate flavors of black cherry and plum with licorice, leather, spice and herb notes. Soft tannins, hints of oak on medium+ finish ending with fruit, herb and earthy mineral tones. Nice, still tasting well but Drink now!

Deep dark purple with a wide, lilac rim. Powerful nose with pronounced plum. There’s a unmistakable charred wood quality happening here that I’m really digging. Stewed mushrooms and dried herbs with roast beef. Give it more air and time and good things happen. Ripe red cherries start to emerge alongside black and blue fruits. Those dirty earth aromas are positively stellar here, really nice.

Northern Rhône Syrahs are something special. Meaty with well integrated tannins. Full bodied and very classic in nature and style. Plenty of sediment in the bottle but still full of finesse. Smooth tannins and a very laid back, enjoyable nature. Bacon fat and pepper initially on the palate. Dried earth and blueberries with smoke and mushrooms. A touch of green olives and lusty herbs. Medium finish with more spice. Drinking spectacularly at the moment but can still hold up in the cellar for a few more years. Truly nice.
