Fruktigt, kryddigt, mörka bär. Fylligt men ändå ”lätt”. Gott!

Thiis a good and I might be slightly hard on (my) points. Fresh fruits, grenache dominant with raspberry and stink. Some bitterness late. Drinks easily. Impressive vineyard components (94yrs Grenache, 132yrs Shiraz); would be interesting to know the exact vineyards.

Cool style GSM blend. Excellent wine with food, that needs elegance and coolness. Not your typical barbecue wine.

Some bricking on the edges. Leather, raspberries, dried cherries, cranberries, pepper, earth, flowers, black cherries, herbs, a little cedar on the nose. Black cherries, plums, earth, tart cherries, spice, dried cherries, and creme de cassis on the palate. Decent acidity and medium-long finish. There's a hint of alcohol. Glycerin-like texture. Overall, this a fruity, powerful, and fun wine. The fruit seems a bit fragile, so I would drink these fairly soon. 89-90

Excellent again. Love the profile of this wine. Drink soon if you have them, I doubt this will get better and may actually be starting it's decline.

Most interesting. Very unusual nose and flavors right now....like a mix of raspberries and peaches, yet still earthy with spiciness. Medium bodied and smooth, just so different. Have one more will try in a year.

Fruit is a bit faded, but complexity remains. After an hour open; still has some estringent back-end flavors.

Wow...you can really taste all the varieties of grapes. Excellent wine with lots of complexity. Smells of an outdoor herbal/floral market. Tastes of smoky cherries and berries, spices, mineral and cedar. It's full bodied yet elegant on the palate. Very different from an Aussie fruitbomb.

15% alc 73% Grenache, 18% Shiraz, 9% Mouvedre, 2% Viognier The colour is mid to dark ruby to purple rim. The nose is filled with black fruits of currant and blackberry, gamey nuances, some smokiness, black tea and floral in the background. Palate on this wine is quite incredible - beyond my wildest expectations really. The word intensity doesn't do this wine justice - it's a cracker ! It's all about sweet black fruits, licorice, mulberry, strawberry and jammy currant. …
