  Still drinking well at 12 years old. My last bottle unfortunately. Dark color, savoury olive tapenade notes, bright acid, wish I had more to keep cellaring.

  Think this needed time. Right now this is drinking great! Agree with others on taste colour smell. But man. It has style. Finish Decanted for an hour and enjoying. Don't be put off by the odd bad review. This is a solid Syrah

  It smells like blackberry and cherry. The wine finishes long. The wine looks inky coloured. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. The wine has juicy texture.

  Concerned by previous note, I opened one of these. Not totally flat, but indeed not a whole lot going on here. Drink up.

  Rather than call this flawed, I'll just say past its prime. Lots of sediment, dark and opaque, and as it opened up it just got flat instead of integrating. Still has that Syrah funk, and intend to use for a pot roast or similar.
