I thought this wine was totally ready to go a few years ago. Turns out it still needs time. Lots of dark fruit, as well as wild bramble, smoke, meat, and a touch of feral. It’s completely Syrah. The tannins have largely backed off, but there’s still plenty of acid backbone to keep it together. I have several more bottles…somewhere.,,when I find them during an archeological dig I will drink them, whether that’s tomorrow, a year from now, or ten years from now. The wine will be fine no matter when.

Drinking very nicely now, I wouldn't hold much longer if I had more. Elegant and classy as expected from Enfield. Edges are softened and this shows its development with acid and tannin both receding.

At seven years old, I think it's already over the hill. Oxidized, some dried herbs, light and acidic without any stuffing or texture. No contest to Cayuse or Reynvaan in the flight.

Expressive spicy strawberry fruit aromatics. Silky texture, savory strawberry fruit flavors, and a solid acid backbone.
