Wonderful nose and long finish. Great body and well integrated with elegant tannins. Great combination with blackened sea bass, believe it or not. The fire of the spices paired wonderfully with the spice of the Syrah.

Ample red fruit but not much lift provided by the middling acidity. Not much in the way of tannins. As this is my first bottle consumed of this vintage I can't say whether it was better consumed earlier, but I suspect this to be the case.

Dry but flavorful wine. Alcohol finish with slight pepper nuances. Possible leather notes touched with graphite. All in all, an enjoyable wine.

Very good, nicely balanced fruit and acidity. Not over the top.

Raspberry pie on the nose, with jammy red fruit and spice, plus some floral notes at the end. Rich on the palate with jammy red fruit and spice
