  Color, deep clear red. 1st nose, red fruits; 2nd nose, roasted oak and cherry, cedar. On the palate, medium to big body, good balance of fruits and tannins.

  Color, clear red; 1st nose, rose petals; 2nd nose; ripe red fruits. On the palate, medium body with acidic finish. Over the peak.

  Deep, Dark and compelling. Very nice rendition of a Syrah. No signs of age in this bottle but it's ready to drink. Probably needs a decant of 30 minutes or so to open up. Continued to evolve into some complexity with air time. No flaws noted. Enjoy if you have any. Nice accompaniment to hearty fare, would overwhelm a more sophisticated dish, Pasta, Beef, Lamb would be ideal.

  Dark brick to purple. Black fruit with a lot of tannin. Good compliment with Barbque.

  Drinking ok but at its end. Cork was problematic so used the butler’s friend.
