Friendly & rounded richness in an old aquaintance. Notes from 1995 vintage quite hold:
"A beautiful, dark garnet wine. Some spices mix with the scents of grapes. A full-bodied, 'muscular', and slightly spicy taste with a hint of raspberry. A fine, balanced body of grapes supported, but not overwhelmed by some mild oak vanilla. Opens up easily to it's sufficiently interesting aromas. A pleasantly full, and ready wine to be enjoyed."
Nose: More fruit than in 1995. And yet: a very shirazy wine.
Taste & style: Near full-bodied, fruitful new world enjoyment with nice hints of spices. An "elderly" pork, or a young bull fits fine, if side-plated with very fresh salad, juicy tomatoes, and mild rings of red onion.
Made of: Shiraz 100%

Sometimes life seems like a circle. Starting from one point and returning to it. - But a simple simile, wine, and a new vintage, proves that point to be ridiculous.
On a more boisterous platform Mika Waltari, and his Sinuhe hold a viewpoint that there is nothing new under the sun. - It's a fine philosophical standpoint with due respect to Plato, and eternal ideas. And concerning Waltari, who wrote historical novels, it's a stand-still, though very eloquently expressed.
I know that Waltari expressedly followed landmarks from Middle-East to ancient Egypt. All the time noting the way how the historical surroudings shaped his "boyish" characters.
If you can follow that line of reasoning, you may start to think about your own life. - An endless circle?
The point is knowing that the perfect shape of a circle is not true. It is surmounted by a more perfect shape, the spiral. Whatever you start with - a wine, an aquaintace, a new love - you will be at the starting point of something you may believe to be a circle, but you'll always wind up knowing it's a spiral taking you up, or falling you down. - You simply have to take a grasp of that fact - or you are lost.
