Not a frequent syrah drinker but loved it. Fruit feels well integrated with nice spice element. Would go well with lamb stew/potatoes /kale/orange peel/rosemary. Also thinking of beef/thyme. Lovely. clocks in at 15%.

this i drank in the same week that i had DG Cherry '07 ... the Melville is just not the same. It was a bit heavy on the pencil lead / mineral that eventually lessened as the wine opened up
advice with this bottle is to decant or at least open at room temp for several hours

loved it! ... a hint of spice and a really elegant but full structured (and complex) syrah ... this is one of the best ones i've had in a long, long while ...
it was fun to drink and very enjoyable all around. i had with a spicey chicken sausage lasagna and it was a perfect combo!
