Excellent wine that we paired with rack of lamb and drink opposite of a velvet glove from the same vintage. Great fun to see the two side-by-side this wine obviously has great elegance and shows the fruit in a panoply of colors. Still drinking a little primary and will age well.

I read all the notes and decided since I was opening a magnum I would do 5 hours prior to dinner and decant. The nose is spicy red fruit. The palate dark cherry, dark plums, tobacco, tree bark and spice (charmoula is what come to my mind) The finish is moderate to long and smooth. Served with a platter of rotisserie duck, wild rice and creamed spinach and it was an excellent match.

Solid, quite typical and was pinpointed (blinded) as an Hermitage. Pure fruit. Piercing experience. Has this beautiful youthful quality of cold butter over lingonberry jam. Pure syrah with aggressive Syrah bitterness and acidity. Superior balance. Length. Complexity. Typicity.
Woooonderful!
Needs plenty more years, but I don't think I'll be able to provide this for my final bottle (of 9)

A solid Syrah with the build of a gymnastics athlete. A but too much muscle to honour its origin, but nevertheless a beauty. Still young, but on its way.
