This is a Syrah. It’s fruity and jammy, showing cherry and orange flavors, and there’s a cut of green gooseberry, like you find in some Sauvignon Blancs, that is not pleasant.

Tastes very fruity-sweet and oaky now, showing powerful flavors of blackberries, cherries and smoky, caramelized oak that are not especially complex or nuanced. Made in the super-modern style, its longterm future is a question mark, although it will have no problem negotiating the next six years.

Aromas offer less than ripe rhubarb, mint and cola alongside riper cherries and cocoa, but in the mouth, it explodes in sweet fruit and smoke. Light in body, delicately acidic, yet incredibly complex. A beautiful Pinot.

Super-fruity, with intensely concentrated blackberries, cassis and milk chocolate, while the oak is very heavy in sweet caramel and buttered toast. Not showing much now beyond sheer power. Could develop, but it’s risky.
