2008 Barnard Griffin Syrah Port

Community Tasting Note

86 Points

Wednesday, November 10, 2010 - Lacks the mellowness of a true port. Persists with a lot of alcoholic burn that didn't relent with breathing (even after a few months opened but recorked on our port shelf). Thin legs (for a port), nose is mostly the alcohol, with a little leather and pepper. Tastes of the alcohol, some blackcurrant and raspberry flavors with tannic drying of the mouth. Finish is reasonable and mildly fruity.

Age might help but we just have the one bottle, so can't comment on longevity.
