WOW!! Drank this with ribs. This was one of the best Syrah's I have ever drank, and I have drank a lot of Syrah. Concentrated Dark fruit and licorice flavors with some earthy overtones. Balanced and elegant. Lingering finish. I just love it when wine evolves to this level of elegance and seamless integration and concentration of flavors. If you still have these you are in for a treat.
Dark ruby, no browning showing. Nose of graphite, menthol, cinnamon and black cherry. Palate of pie spices, dark fruits, some alcohol is evident. Still has a few years left.

Day 1 big and fruity, much more exciting on day 2 when it developed more spicy and savory notes, including hints of Worcester sauce. I would recommend a long decant.

Delicious mature Syrah drank with Chili. This is definitely ready to drink. No rough edges at all. Very elegant with loads of fruit, spiciness, long finish. I even have another bottle to drink in the next year or two.

Opened expecting to see more age than I did on this wine. Clearly some positive interesting evolution on the nose, that really draws interest. Still very dark and no appearance of age. Beautiful dark berry fruit on the palate with more time to go if you please. The only flaw here was a touch of heat on the finish which clips the great fruit a bit short.
