February 9, 2024 - Wow - this still has so much oak. I enjoyed this wine three years ago so either my taste has changed or something was up with this bottle - tasted heavy handed and even after 20 years of age it was flat and overpowering
July 2, 2022 - 淡宝石红色，闻香有明显的奶油味，那种来自新世界的类似桉树的气味，成熟黑果，青椒气息，入口酸度高，单宁紧致有点抓人，有颗粒感，酒液咸，收口甜，明显的奶油，喉咙里能感受到酒精感，桉树一类的草本植物混合着黑果香气，后段有清凉感和辛辣感，余味是奶油和成熟果香。香气浓郁，酒体强劲，橡木桶影响明显，甜美风格。
January 17, 2021 - Quite a nice wine. Still quite fresh. Not a typical Syrah. Drink now over the next 10 years
March 4, 2020 - Drinking beautifully at this moment. Quick decent but ready to go
December 7, 2019 - On the nose: Dark berries, meat, tobacco
On the palate: Dark berries, sweet herbs, (day 1 hint of eucalyptus) smoked meat, chocolate and tobacco
Very smooth and fine balance
Long finish
October 26, 2018 - The 2004 Le Macchiole Scrio was showing perfectly mature tonight and wonderfully enjoyable. It's nose was rich with sweet herbal and tobacco notes followed by dusty minerals, bacon fat dark chocolate, haunting dark florals, and blackberry fruits. On the palate, i found creamy textures with a bitter twang of herbs up front, followed by spicy black fruits, with saline-minerality and savory spice. The finish was long, displaying bitter dark fruit laced with saline minerals, orange-tinged spice and hints of fine tannin.
May 28, 2017 - Still a decadent bottle. Perfect mix of dark fruits, spice, a little chocolate. Great on its own or with food.
February 24, 2016 - Polished, opulent and layered, with a rustic earthiness that keeps the ripe fruit in balance. Pepper, dark fruit, herbs and cedar. Lush but never heavy. I loved it, and it will only get better.
August 23, 2015 - this is an amazing bottle. Near perfect from start to finish. Cocoa, spice, extremely smooth finish. Opened one hour before. Drank along w the 2005. The 05 was bigger and more tannic at this point.
