This wine really surprised me. Drinks perfectly now - good balance with tannins, acidity and fruit. All the traditional layers of white pepper and charcuterie are there. It was up against a top Hawke's Bay Syrah. To my surprise this one won the battle.

This just makes me longing for Pinot. Nothing really wrong here, clean detailed Syrah. But it's not very exiting and for the same money you can get a good Burgundy. Maybe 89 with some air.
