  Balanced in the Jaffurs style. Based on the tannins, I think it will improve over the next 10 years. Drink or hold

  This wine has always knocked me out, and last night was no exception. I opened our last bottle sooner than I needed to, as this still comes across as rather young. I think it has at least 3-5 years left in it, depending on one's taste for more tertiary aromas and flavors. This remains one of my absolute favorite renditions of syrah from Jaffurs in the 6 years I've been a club member.

  Popped and let breathe for about 20 minutes, and then decanted for another 20 before starting consumption.
  
  Nose: Sweet blueberry effervescence, vanilla, grilled meat, white pepper.
  
  Palate: Similar to the nose (blueberry effervescence), notes of prune. Tannins all resolved with the air time it got.
  
  We drank on its own with no food.

  Gorgeous syrah. Exceptional nose and rich palete of dark fruit, blackberry, black pepper and other spice, graphite. Superb mouth feel and extra long finish. A little hot on opening but after a short decant this wine is ready for pure enjoyment.

  Good as ever. Still needs time for the tannin to unclench a bit. Hope I can lay off my remaining bottles for a year or more.
