  This is a pretty light whiskey at 34 proof. But if it is supposed to be wine--and I think it is, right--what the hell? I've had many bottles of Alban over the years, but 16.9% alcohol is just silly. No longer consumable as wine. Weak whiskey or maybe madeira.

  WCC US Syrah Blind (Provence Restaurant, Albany, NY): Intense ripe nose. Quite tannic, but with loads of ripe fruit. Still needs time.

  Excellent balance for a high alcohol wine. Fruit very much shines through. Can sail on for 5+ years

  Remarkable bottle of syrah. These wine are just terrific once the get beyond ten years of age. Gorgeous fruit, no heat, wonderfully subtle minerality.

  Too much alcohol. But still great wine.
