Lovely Old World syrah. Drink now, as there are some tasty tertiary notes - tobacco, earth, cedar - but not much fruit left. It's surprisingly elegant and lightweight for a syrah, smooth tannins, medium body nice balanced acidity.

Pleasant overall. However if you have a bottle left I suggest to open it now. Need fair a bit of air. Decanted 2 hr and wasn’t enough. The wine in the first glass (which got heaps of oxigen) was already showing pleasant notes. After 1h+.licorice, cardamom, anise and quite intense barnyard, someone called it Brett, I wouldn’t buy it but neither wait to drink if I have a bottle.
