  Very youthful, with tannins that persisted throughout the evening. But the initial tightness dissipated quickly, and the wine became sweeter as we worked through the bottle. I would never have guessed Syrah -- Nebbiolo, perhaps -- but this is a serious, structured wine that went beautifully with some roast pork and leeks.

  I echo the comment made by others that I had some concern about the age, but absolutely no reason to worry! This is lovely, fully settled and integrated, lots of black fruit on the palate and still showing the typical syrah punch, but elegant and refined now like a fist in a velvet glove. Wonderful wine, should have bought more.

  Was worried I'd kept this too long, but no, I'd say at peak. Still considerable rich black fruit with some Syrah black pepper. Velvety resolved tannins, just a bit of tobacco-y development. Glad I have 2 more.

  Well balanced and good fruit present. Getting a little tired. Drink now. There's not much life in this.

  slightly corked, the bad smell disappears once decanted and put in the botlle again. Complex syrah, a little bit bold and tough but with complexity and fine texture. A lot of fruit, still, may be at the top up to 2021. Some sediment. Best paired with a slowly-cooked sous-vide filetto
