It's been two nights since I opened this and it was in the fridge. I've allowed it to come back to room temperature. I haven't had as much to drink before trying it this time. The nose this evening is full of caramel and anise. Flavour is very smooth but still spicy with dark fruits and caramel. I really like this wine and wish I had two bottles. Considering how good it is on night two, I think it could have sat a couple more years contrary to other recommendations.

Nose of black currant and blackberry. Flavour is spice, blackberry and black currant. The wine is rich and coats your mouth. It's almost spicy enough to be a Zinfandel.

A tasty new world style syrah that manages to provide ample delicious fruit without going over the top with sufficient structure. Outstanding wine at a more than fair price.

Pleasant, but an awkward stage. Breathing helped.
