A savory and restrained Syrah, showing quite well after a decade plus. More savory than fruit-driven, with some leather and white pepper. A touch green. Drink by 2022.

Gave this around 45 min of air. The nose is amazing. Dark fruit, meaty/savory aromatics. Absolutely perfect palate weight & in gorgeous balance. Still shows lots of acid.

Deep purple color, earthy and white pepper notes with some underlying blackberry. A balanced syrah with mineral and spicy pepper notes that is quite delicious.

Excellent wine. Nose of dark currants and vine, taste started very peppery but opened nicely to well balanced vanilla and spice. Would purchase again. Paired well with grilled veggies and steak.
