  Exuberant Syrah, not too many typical notes for me but lots of liquorice, marzipan and blueberries with some spicy high notes on the finish.

  A ripe, sweet and generously high alcohol Syrah. Still has ripe blackberry jam notes and decent acidity. Really pleasurable to smell.

  Down a notch since last year probably because I pnp'd as opposed to decanting. The nose was fruit with hints of sweet tobacco. The palate was dark berries, plums, figs, tree bark and spice leading into a moderate to long finish. At nine years old you can choose to drink or hold. I do not see it improving much but I do not see it turning south anytime soon.

  It has been three years to the day since I last tried a bottle and it is still a really good bottle of wine. I decanted it through a vinturi for three hours. The flavors have changed a bit as they should during the aging process. THe nose was fruit with hints of sweet tobacco. The palate was dark berries, plums, figs, tree bark and spice leading into a moderate to long finish. At eight years old you can choose to drink or hold. I do not see it improving much but I do not see it turning soulth anytime soon. Most enjoyable.
