Showing even better than the last time I had it. So poised, rich and classy; a velvety feel to it. This is one of those wines that begs the question 'why pay more'...

Belated New Years Celebration (Mark and Erica's - Roehampton): Love this producer and this wine. A stolid Syrah that isn't overdone, well knit and confident. Drinking perfectly and considering the peppery firmness on the long prominent finish, there's no rush.

(Novy Family Wines Syrah Napa Valley) Group's #8 (my #1) – 104 pts; 2, 2, 0, 0 - dark red violet color; tight but intriguing black fruit and tar nose with a touch of green peppercorn; nice, ripe and tasty blackbery, mulberry, berry and tar palate with good texture and balance; medium-plus finish (declassified Page Nord fruit, 70% from young vines and 30% from older vines near the river; Adam's #1 wine of the 10 at the tasting too, this will be a tremendous value at $20 or so on release)

This was an impressive wine and a great value. Good nose and nice layers of ripe fruit, toast and vanilla. Well integrated acidity and minerality.
