 Tasted by cshall on 10/18/2014 & rated 95 points: Cracking cracker cracklinathon. Oak matured. Vanilla overtones. Smooth as silk from silk road in silk ville. Was worried it could be overdone but as opened and poured could tell this was reaching heights. High heights. Above normal high. Higher than normal. Higher higher and higher. (3260 views)
 Tasted by Jonne on 8/12/2014 & rated 86 points: Har stått sig väldigt bra med mycket frukt och lång eftersmak. Men jag gillar inte den där sältan och den koncentrerade smaken. Som att slicka i sig balsamvinäger. Lever inte heller riktigt upp med mat.

 Tasted by vanpe003 on 1/30/2013 & rated 92 points: Great nose. Resolved, with secondary character that hints at a bit of meat / game. On the palate, well balanced though little remaining structure. This is a drink now wine. (4032 views)
 Tasted by Harry Cantrell on 11/4/2011 & rated 88 points: garnet. Nose had a cross between bottle stink and cherry/blackberry. The stink settled down with airing but never fully left. very Oz syrah but with a restraint. Taste was a more mellow syrah. Nice. (4590 views)
 Tasted by Johann Von Mastiff on 4/30/2011 & rated 91 points: Color is a faded ruby red, almost like old Pinot. The nose has that very typical aussie nose of crushed red berries and spices. still a lot left in this wine. (3540 views)
 Tasted by graemeg on 7/2/2001: NobleRottersSydney - Rosemount wines with Neil Hadley MW (Darling Mills, Glebe): Glowing red. Lovely aromas of cloves & spice, with a beautiful velvety palate. Has come together beautifully – acid & tannin have melded homogeneously, the fruit is still very much emphasised and not weakening at all. Yet to develop any real aged characters, I think this has plenty of time left. The wine of the night, clearly. (2697 views)

Syrah

Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)

Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent.
