An outstanding smooth tasty fruity syrah. L'Ecole's syrah age almost as well as their fantastic merlots, and are well worth cellaring for 5-10 years or even more.

So NEW WORLD it is silly, with massive fruit overshadowed by massive oak in a massive bottle, with little acid or tannin - deep maroon to black , with a nose that is almost wholly oak - smooth, supple mouthfeel, very little acid, flavours of coffee, mocha, roast cherry, oak spices, plum - good length - nice sipper as long as you keep it to one glass only. Enjoyable for what it is. Drink up.

Wine has lost much of its fruit. Still good structure and acidity but starting to show its age.
