  No signs of slowing down
  A full force jammy experience,
  Blue fruit on the palate, pepper and Asian spice on the nose.

  Knocked my socks off. We had it with roast chicken and it was gulpable; wonderful flavors and mouthfeel at cellar temperature. As I’m new to Syrahs, perhaps I’m easily impressed, but what a beginning! I probably overpaid at K & L auction, but I don’t mind paying extra for quality. Whoever made this wine, thank you for your efforts!
