  Exceptional New World Syrah. Still fresh, 10 years on. Chocolate, black pepper and dark fruit. Wish I had more.

  Back to back vertical with '12 and there's no question '13 was the winner. Drinking perfectly now

  Perfect window- on the palate cassis, black cherry and raspberry. Complex nose of spices and dark fruits. A great Syrah.

  And a good window, and probably approaching its peak. The fruit is fresh and bold, and the tenants are fading. Raspberry and dark fruits on the palate.

  Similar to previous note. Still can go many years. Tannins still present but approachable. Long lingering finish but nothing really sticks out. Good but not great. Cool climate Syrah for sure. Big Basins best Syrah offering.
