Darker and zippier than almost all other K Vintners syrahs, even earlier vintages of the Deal. Pepper and black currant, not my thing. Maybe it is the acidicity, but I think there's something more to it. Not my favorite, but well done. Probably my least favorite K Vintners syrah ever and I have tried dozens and then dozens. Come think if it, this is almost like the raisin wine Amarone. Not a compliment.

This is fine. Many elements of a good Syrah are here, but they aren't knit together or in balance. PnP'ed, it's dominated by soft textures and lactic flavors on opening, then as it gets air, the finish collects tannin and becomes rough. Curious, but not my favorite of the K wines I've had.

Very peppery with notes of black fruit, plum and raspberry, with a little smokey meat.

Perfecto Syrah, reminds me of Saxum. Drinking well now. I just poured leftover from two days ago and still very good. Reidel Vinum Syrah glass.

Good, but not as good as our first bottle which was well over a year ago. Lacked the depth and full body fruitfulness as the prior bottle.
