Somewhat complex, but not really that complex... it has that elegant twist, avant-garde, & need an hour and half decanting time.
Initially Maple syrup & strawberries, Mocha & then a lot of plum , toasted coconut, pepper spicy, sweet cloves & a long finish of tobacco & green cooking herbs (oregano & tarragon perhaps) ... Delicious flowing acid & a beautiful aroma.
I loved the clean finish and light weightless palate, such a joy when Syrah palate is light & crisp.
If the alcohol note is better controlled, this wine will be perfect . Sante !!!! Another wonderful Blewitt Spring .

Having drunk the 2004 some days earlier, I was hoping for a younger version with the same style, but unfortunately there was a rather odd vegetable aroma which lingered. The wine was still dark and rich like the 2004, but was disappointing.
One bottle remaining, which I will drink soon

Nice aroma of cedar and dark fruit. Intense flavors of blueberry, cranberry, chocolate, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and zesty pepper. Medium to full body, long finish. Smooth and complex. Wonderful. Decanted 1.5 hours.

Deep garnet, volumes of red and black fruit, but some great tertiary aromas, leather, earth, mushrooms.
Still plenty of life let in this, at least another 5 years
