This is a glorious wine. big, ripe black cherry nose. Some heat. Layered and complex with delightful spiciness and a long rich finish of tobacco and spice. An experiment to keep it this long, but a resounding success. I wish I had more...

Med red. Nose is black fruit. Med light body with flavour of plums and some leather and damp earth. Somehow disjointed and a little hollow. Disappointing for the price.

A reserved nose that does not want to relinquish to truth. Decanted for one hour that does not give a pure nose of determinate of syrah. This is a non-descript, with non expressive wine of the varietal. Candied fruit of blackberry and plum struggling though spice of black pepper and gloves/nutmeg. It maybe past its time..try in another three months.

Let wine sit out for a while, this wine needs to breathe extensively. Nose of currant, blackberry, some plum. Smooth on palate, full bodied wine with long finish with a touch of spice. Much dark fruit, with plum, some currant, jammy without being too thick. Nice balance, as I said long finish with nice spice at the end. Drank this wine with pork tenderloin chops in a chipotle barbeque sauce cut with orange, perfect wine. I have been to Arrowood, great winery.

Dark red colour, tight and somewhat unyielding nose shows some dark fruits and pepper. Palate is medium bodied with red and black fruits, spice, chewy tannins and a fairly warm finish.

Much better than other 4 bottles. Got better with bottle age.

A little disappointing, green, with menthol residue. Fruit was a little muted, and the finish was not spectacular.
