Very interesting reading the earlier notes. This has now lost its acidity and is so laid back it is almost somnolent. In other words it seems to have retreated into itself. Unmistakably Hawkes Bay Syrah, unmistakably well made, but lacking a bit of pzazz, and a trifle disappointing. I don't think it will be all that exciting if it wakes up. Interesting.....

Still very youthful purple, with no sign of age in the colour or at the rim.
Blackberry to the fore on the nose, but with a little pleasing leafiness and faint white pepper.
Without food it's a little one-dimensional at this stage, but was better with steak. No tannins to speak of and acidity feels sufficient to keep it for another 5-10. Try again in 2020?
