  A heady perfume of purple flowers and blue fruits. There’s BBQ smoke and fragrant black pepper in the background. Intense, broad, penetrating, svelte and caressing in all the right places. Utterly delicious and an unbeatable value. If I had to drink only one Syrah for the rest of my days this bottle would be on the shortlist of a very short list.

  A wine full of black fruit. Fragrant cassis and blackberry nose with some pepper. Rich and intense. Powerful palate with good fruit and depth. Long tasty finish. Needs food.

  The wine looks inky colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like forest floor, mineral and black pepper. It tastes like black currant (cassis), forest floor and alcohol/hot. The body is full. The wine has coarse texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

  Popped and poured through an aerator. Christmas day wine! Dark and savory. Flavors of dark currant, blueberry, dark chocolate, and pronounced cracked black pepper. Medium-plus body with just enough acidity and medium-minus tannins. Not goopy or syrupy at all, at least to my taste.
  
  Delicious wine and a great value. Great character to this.
