  Wine Bros: A Study of Syrah (Cowford Chophouse): Chris makes wine that is meant to last almost for forever and this is one of those. 25 years young. We opened and decanted and I think might have even Lennar’ed it twice and let it sit in the decanter for a few hours and then poured it right as we got to the restaurant even though it was being served a bit later and still this is clearly a serious, high-octane wine. Drinking pretty well and very well liked around the table.

  Still youthful and full of vigor. Huge with good boquet. Wish we had more.

  Pop and pour. At 20, this tiny-production rarity is still a blockbuster with nose of garrigue, cherry cola, and eucalyptus. On the palate, big swaths of black cherry hard candy with quite balanced notes of eucalyptus, anise, and asphalt. The body became more silky and viscous over two hours. This is the best Australian wine I've ever had although I don't drink that many.

  SLDS January BBQ: 1000 bottles made. Raspberry, charcoal, cherry, ash and redcurrant. Powerful, muscular palate, with rich and ripe flavours coming through. The wine remains driven and focused, finding a sense of balance and with super length.

  Unbelievably tasty Shiraz! Still a baby but I needed a stellar bottle of wine after a long week!
