  K. Lazaridis Syrah Vertical Tasting (Oinoscent): Ripe and sweet nose, med+ intensity, complex and subtle, red and black fruit, prunes, nice integrated oak, ripe fig and a few floral notes too. In the palate, the wine feels rich, ripe red and black fruit, nice tannins, alcohol burn, feels ripe altogether. The oak is more upfront in the palate than the nose, med intensity and finish. Worth keeping this for a few more years

  Clear, deep ruby/purple color.
  
  Clean, medium+ intensity in the nose offering black currants, black cherries, plum, figs, vanilla, nutmeg and cloves from oak treatment. Youthful
  
  Dry with medium+ body and intensity, high alcohol (15%), medium+ acidity, medium+ tannins but round and velvety, sweet ripe black skinned fruits like currants, cherries, plums, sweetly spiced, balanced with concerns on the alcohol since it burns a bit, medium+ finish
  
  Very good wine, high price, drinking now but could age.

  Clear, deep ruby color. Clean nose of medium intensity but showing complexity and many layers of aromas with ripe black cherries and berries, plums alongside cinnamon and sweet oak with an almost peachy sweetness and freshness. Youthful
  Dry in the palate, medium body, medium intensity, high alcohol (15%), medium acidity and medium + tannins but round. The palate copies the nose with plums and ripe blackberries, sweet oak flavors as well, alcohol takes a real bite and ruins the balance, ends with a currant jam-my medium+ finish.
  Very good wine of high price. Drinking now but could age further with concerns about the alcohol, it just ruined it for me
