Used for pasta sauce due to plastic cork... but.... I had a taste and while it’s a bit brown sugary in flavour, it would be drinkable - but only for one glass

Clear Dark ruby in colour with some brick starting to show at edges. Clean nose of plum, dark cherry, and some gamey notes. Dry, smooth tannins, nice acidity, med body, med flavours of plum, black fruits, and spice on palate. Nice length. This wine is drinking very well right now.

Fabulous Syrah, classic notes and unexpected ripeness in a wine from Canada, stunning really - Black, well concentrated with a nose of plum, cherry, blueberry, pepper, meat and vanilla, very well balanced, excellent complexity and depth, velvety smooth on the palate with excellent length, a winner for sure!

Hugely spicy on the nose. Oaky vanilla notes emerged with time. I found this a bit simple in the mid-palette. It didn't have the weight. As the evening went on, I liked this wine less and less. It was just too oaky. A crowd pleaser with others though.

Inky black in color. Full bodied with a smoky nose. On the palate, the wine hits you with black plum and cherry notes, finishing with classic black pepper.

Wow! Thick yet still fruity. Great pairing with a streak and a mushroom Marsala sauce. Last 2005 left.

Wonderful rich fruit, now becoming well developed, subtle spice notes, with a nice spicey finish. Decanted for 2 hours.
