On its last legs , and interesting tasting side by side with the 2011. This 2010 showed great composure for the 1st hour but fell apart quickly after that...open and drink fast!

This is in a really nice place. Deep ruby color; sweet jammed fruits on the nose, boysenberry, black plum, violet, sage, vanilla and coconut. Medium plus acidity with a rich oaky component that will age nicely for a further 10+ years. The core of fruit is nicely complemented by toasty oak but the tannins are medium minus. It's not too heavy to say delicious. Very finely balanced and I wish I hadn't drank it now, but damn it was good. Top notch Syrah for any serious Syrah lover indeed.

Bottle 3/6. Underwhelming. Quite primary and recognisably Syrah but a bit hot on the nose and confected palate.

Bold, tangy, red fruit. Nice balance, decent length. Classy wine.
