Subdued nose maybe too cool.dark stews fruit Pliny jammy nose. Not very Syrah like for me. Good length and nice ripe tanins with hint of acid. No pepper no spice. Well made just not showing any terroir. Could be anything. Maybe will open up. Stand corrected. A few hours later this thing has exploded in the glass. Awesome wine.

May 18th, 2017Great length, mouthfeel grippy tannins. Goes on and on. Depth and character this one. Doesn't jump out like typical syrah, I'd struggle on a blind tasting to identify. Beautiful deep red fruit with loads of background velvety gripping tanin. Me likes a lot.

A bit weird smell of pliars (?). Nice and peppery taste. (Sea Point)
