  Amazingly enjoyable 14-year-old Syrah with an expressive aroma of ripe dark fruit, earth, dried meat, floral notes, sweet spices, a whiff of vanilla and just a hint of oak. There is concentration and richness but also balance. Silky texture, ripe tannins and right amount of acidity and freshness. Flavours of ripe plum, black cherry, smoke, well-integrated oak, peppery spice and herbal hints.

  Semi Transparent/Opaque dark red and lightens up towards the edges. No signs of browning on the edges. Blackberry and black cherry on the nose and palate. Also a hint of black pepper on the palate. At this stage this is a medium body wine with medium + tannins and medium acidity - Very balanced. 10+ years has been no problem for this wine. Impressive

  Lovely fruit forward CA syrah - not as extracted and intense as the syrahs from Tensly, well balanced with nice acidity to hold it together and balanced fruit. Drink NOW

  Drank nicely over 2 nights. Black in the glass- looked young. Lavender, saline, figs and blackberry on nose with similar flavor profile on palate. Medium body, high acidity and integrated tannins. Very long finish. 93+/-
