Loved it! Very smooth — 8 years ago
1996 vintage. At Ryozanpaku in Kyoto, Japan. Medium garnet - slight bricking around the edge. Medium intensity of aromas, manure, earth, blackberry, violet creams and savoury spices. Fairly complex if slightly mature. On the palate, good fresh acidity, medium body and noticeable rounded tannins. The mid palate is flavoursome and impressive. The finish is slightly short. Probably won't benefit from further ageing. However, I suggest giving the wine 30 minutes of air before serving. — 8 years ago

Good acid to challenge my elk tartar. Could use a little more body, but very nice for my pallet. — 11 years ago

16.5/20 (89/100) Вино с элегантным ароматом сливового и вишневого варенья с нотой тимьяна. Тельное с довольно высокой кислотностью и вяжущими танинами. Ягодное во вкусе. (12.04.17) #DVR2017 — 7 years ago

Stunning Northern Rhone Syrah. Beautifully balanced, very smooth on opening. Even better the following day (half bottle each time). Even at £15, good value, courtesy of Tesco. — 8 years ago

Exceeded my expectations. Leather on the nose. Blackberry and pepper on the palette. This goes so well with spicy red meat dishes. Very nice. — 10 years ago

Nice but needs some time to open up - either a couple years or an hour in a decanter. Deep dark red fruit with a hint of spicy poking through the considerable structure. — 8 years ago
