Waited 7 years to drink my second and last bottle and it didn’t disappoint. Probably 2-3 years of life but fantastic right now. Still the best Syrah I’ve ever had.

Absolutely fabulous. Nicely maturing, loads of pepper and spice, lots of dark fruit, very long finish. Wish I had more than the 4 downstairs. Syrah doesn’t get much better than this. 97+

Passive cellared since direct purchase of library wines. Served w aged beef.
Wow. Super expressive nose of raspberry jam right from the cork pull. Red raspberry, black tea, loads of salinity. No heat. Some might complain of “jamminess” but while it’s juicy, the wine is well balanced.
Really drinking at peak. The tannins are resolved

Drank my last bottle and similar to my 2015 bottle. Cracked pepper, blood soaked satchel of roasted venison draped in bacon, a dash of dried herbs, soy, olive and a sprinkle of sea salt. This bottle is why I buy good quality Sarahs. If you fruit mongers don’t appreciate an aged Syrah, I’ll buy your Pax Richards!

Lovely juice, the notes of olive that pop up with about thirty minutes of air time are amazing.
