I brought this to a Syrah vs. Cabernet tasting at a NY Steakhouse. It was opened but not decanted for over 45 minutes before serving. Compared to the Cornas that was also part of the tasting, this tasted sweeter and had a longer finish. While it was enjoyed by everyone, those who enjoy new world Syrah preferred this and old world fans preferred the Cornas. This was a lost in the cellar bottle, as it was in a mismarked box. I'm glad I found it!

A Sunday pool BBQ at a co-workers house. I brought him a bottle of wine. Did not expect him to open it but he did. Dark fruit on the nose. The palate was dark berries, plums, hints of currents and spices. The finish was moderate to long. Served with Burgers, Chicken, Sausage and Hot Dogs.

Big and extracted, a powerful and bold Syrah. Blackberry and plum, cocoa, pepper wrapped in a rich texture. Moderate to long finish. Agree with others that this wine will have strong appeal among those who are cab fans. Last of two bottles purchased.

Really enjoyable. It still has lots of fruit, but it is developing secondary spice notes. For me, it is in a great place right now.

Recommend a couple of hours decant. Excellent QPR.
