I brought this to an Afghan restaurant so it was a pop 'n pour. No detailed notes, but, this was great. Everything I would want from a new world Syrah. I might be shorting this a point. I should note that I'm usually hit or miss with Martinelli's Syrahs, and I didn't care for my previous bottle of this vintage and vineyard. But this one I loved! Sorry but no detailed tasting notes for this one.

Could have gone to 94. A terrific Syrah with a long, sweetish finish. Big flavors as you would expect from Martinelli, their wines are not for fans of subtlety.

I'm going to skip giving this a numerical score. I seem to be hit or miss on Martinelli's Syrahs, and this was a miss for me. I brought this to a Cheeseburger and Zin dinner for my wine group, and while I thought at 15/9% alcohol it would fit in with the Zins, I just didn't work for me. Maybe I shouldn't have had with the Zins? To be fair, other members of my wine group really enjoyed it.

Silky smooth, very ripe red fruits, nicely integrated Carmelly oak and a long finish.

This one was disappointing, tight and closed despite over an hour in decanter. Not as big as previous bottles, don't know why.
