Drank a bottle in 2020. Still fresh, fruity, firm tanins, long after taste. I drank the second bottle in 2022 and it was a dissapointment. Not faulty by any means, but i felt it was blunt. Today i drank the third bottle and it was a revelation. Aged gracefully. Plenty of fruit, mellow tannins and great acidity.

Expected more from this Syrah 2011. Not enough elements of aging that a 8 year old wine should have give. Its still high acidity and strong tannins and freshness is not so present. Probably after more year in cellar will perform better.

Mega Spileo Syrah; 100% Syrah, matured about 2 years in oak, another 2 years kept in bottle before relasing. Tasting: deep rich purple red color, smoky mature forest fruit, chocolate and vanilla notes with some spices; quite complex and oaky aromas; medium long after taste. Very good wine and good value.

Very nicely balanced, complex red with black cherry, some pepper and herb notes and nice oak aromas. Dry cheery finish.
