Monday, December 22, 2008 - Dark purple, very youthful. Elegant nose, very Northern-Rhone-like (cote-rotie?) with currants, grilled herbs and black pepper. Full bodied and balanced palate, with soft tannins, nice fruit core and high acidity. Very long finish. Beautifully integrated oak. A very well-made syrah, combining new world fruit richness with old world elegance. At its prime right now, will drink well for at least 10 more years!
