Blackberry, a touch of brambly earth, nice black pepper. Very nice fruit-forward wine on the pop, but starting to get a bit flat after a couple of hours. Totally dead on day 2. Drinking window (-2012) seems about right.

This is a big opulent Syrah with multiple layers of flavors that swirl in your mouth. Dark, dark purple color with overtones of spice, pepper, blackberry and plum. Some toasted oak on the finish.

Drank from a magnum. Drinking very nicely with great integration and balance. Love these wines and each year gets better and better.
