  Cellaring it certainly makes it more interesting to drink. As it is, it’s a fine example of old world, classic Syrah (but made in BC) - beautiful to look at, and a smooth pallet that goes with many things. If I ordered it in a restaurant I’d be pleased with my choice.
  
  Flavours: black cherry, plum, white pepper
  
  In general I prefer my Syrahs a bit bolder - new world (but far short of the super cherry many are going for these days).

  Rhone like avec des saveurs poivrées, violette et charbon. Un peu extrait et chaud. Assez peu tanique, malheureusement gout un peu atypique.

  Still lots of tanin at first (even after being decanted for 2 hours) and lots of fruity taste at the end. This wine needs a few years before being consumed.

  Spicy yet soft and smooth. Little bit of depth to it as well, quite nice
