(Joseph Swan Vineyards Syrah Trenton Estate) Barrel sample - nice roasted fruit nose; big, flavorful, black fruit, sweet tannins, surprisingly well resolved now; medium finish 90-92 pts.

Thick syrup. You could cut it with a knife. Sickly sweet.
Lacks acidity and any sense of freshness. Not my thing.

Holding up well. Too much sweetness for Northern Rhone classicists, but quite delicious.

Still loads of fun. Primary and in no way deteriorating though it seems quite low in acidity, it has a plushness that makes the palate satisfying.

Pine sap, menthol, prunes, caramel and coffee.
Good concentration, touch of sweetness. Spicy finish.
Soft tannins
Not sure it gets better from here

Very nicely balanced wine. Restrained, but delicious fruit. Nice earthy tones. Drank like a Rhone.
