Dark violet/red; soft-edged syrah fruit with deep smooth finish; luscious svelte mouthfeel; a little jammy - enjoy this now; in the end this surprised 50/4/13/17/6

{ST} Color medium red, some dark hues, no sign of bricking. Aromas and flavors of berries, cherries, bramble, and oak. On the tongue the fruit is still fresh, medium acid, medium level tannins lend a nice structure, and the finish is fairly short. Tasty but otherwise unremarkable, if not boring. In today's market where there is such a glut of great wines to pick from, this falls short in depth and complexity for the 27 dollar tag.

A little worried this may be past peak when I served it at big wine tasting. No problem. It did have nice bottle age which created lush, complex flavors.

This line of wines (Herzog Syrah Special Reserve) need to be drunken early - maybe two to three years after the vintage year. They must be doing something to them to make them so accessible early. They have no cellar life - a real shame!!! The spicy, fruity, and tar flavors are long gone. The color is still a nice purple, but the nose has gone south. There are aromas of blackberry, oak, and a bit of nutmeg. The mouth of this medium-full bodied wine is almost fruitless at this point. There are still hints of black fruit. The mid palate has a slight burn of alcohol and the finish is woody with a hint of pepper.

This is the 'M' version of the wine, which means it is Mevushal (cooked). The color was a lovely purple, but the nose was non existent. All I got was wood and a bit of spice. The mouth feel of the full bodied wine was fruitless. It was a nice balanced and spicy full bodied wine. But without fruit or a good finish this wine is lacking.

Past its peak -- drinkable, but fruit is almost gone. This is the M series and I think the mevushal "ness" is finally catching up.

A bit disjointed. The tannins are not integrated, but still has some good fruit.

A very interesting style - restrained and acidic. Some fruit hiding behind earthiness and leather. Interesting, but probably near its peak.
