Mint, tobacco, sweet/tart black raspberry, clove and a big pepper finish. Fresh, bright. Great wine. Opens in about 20 minutes. Will go a few more years.

Big, tons of fruit, but not over the top. Enough fresh acidity here to keep everything in line, and enough room to let the meat, mineral, and iodine come through. Too much wine for the pork chops and sweet potato, but delicious nonetheless.

I ordered the 2007 and 2 bottles of the 06 slipped in somehow. I'm not complaining. Drank over two nights. Blackberry, meat juice, wet stone, herbs. Second night a little better than first. Certainly age worthy. I've become a big Jaffurs fan. Great QPR.

Excellent, classic Jaffurs syrah. Bien Nacido provides such a structured wine...or is that Craig Jaffurs? This was good thru 3 nights. Better each night.

Big, rich, and ripe. But, not out of balance. Great dark notes of fruit and spice in this inky beast.
