Not my cup of tea and I like Syrahs. It was very tight when I first opened it. Was "stinky" on the nose, quasi-Rhone with some earthy tar notes, black fruits and smoke. First glass was overly atringent to which grossly overshadowed the fruit which was wound up as well. Decanted and let sit for a three hours. It opened up a little and revealed some nice plummy notes but still was incomplete. The finish was light and a little forgetable. Surpising for something the 2006 Wine Report listed as a good value, bad bottle?
