Dark garnet colour. Spice, wet slate, prunes on the nose. On the palate, dark fruit, blackberry and pepper. All in all, an okay Syrah, but I can't see it winning any converts to the genre.

Didn't get to try this when it was young but I think this bottle might have been on the decline. Nose is great, wild, feral, sour cherry soup, and some cave funk. On the palate it's tart, lacking freshness and a bit chalky, presenting as cool climate Syrah. In some ways it reminds me of a tart sour cherry loire valley red but the finish is acidic and vinegary. Oh well.

Pretty good cool climate red, but nothing amazing.

Blackberry and white pepper. Routine cool climate syrah. Nothing to complain about.
