Great with a well seasoned steak and pasta with garlic and oil on the patio. Drank tonight after the pleasure of a Larkmead Syrah 2008 last night. The Larkmead was a hedonistic treat to be remembered, but the Boom Boom gave great pleasure paired with the food tonight, and if I had spent on 1 bottle at a restaurant what the case of Boom Boom cost I would not have felt cheated!

Young and vibrant color - deep ruby purple. Aromas of violets, white peper / fragrant spice, sweet dark fruit. Medium density - fresh character with abundant red and dark fruit, mild tannins and acidity, hint of eraser rubber (not bad) and herbaceousness. Feminine in character and easy drinking.

Spicy bouquet and palate. Juicy fruits, good freshness and also a touch of sweetness. A bit rustic as well. Overall a well made and nice wine. Ready now and the next 4+ years.

Solid smooth, mellow Syrah, not overpowering.

Past its prime? Spicy, red fruit and white pepper, with tannins that are quite soft, almost mellow. Decent with food but not overly exciting.
