Still tight and tannic. The fruit is still subdued but as witnessed 6 years ago the potential is obvious. Time, time, time. Be patient and this will reward. The last there is though!

Opaque violet with enticing and aromatic aromas of black currant, violets,tobacco, olive tapenade and white pepper. On the palate it's medium-bodied and fresh with firm, drying tannins. It shows blackberry, blueberry, plum flavors accented with savory spice notes.

Bennora Comes to Town! Many Syrahs are Had! (DeeCee): Deep opaque purple. Loads of pepper and iron with a purple flower note on the nose. Palate is loaded with structure more than anything, but black fruit lurks somewhere in the background. Intensely tannic and gripping at this point even after 3 days and an overnight in the decanter.
STRONG HOLD!

This is quite a serious Syrah. Dark fruit, black olives, bacon, and black berries on the nose. Dusty tannins with tart dark berries, cedar, and savory flavors on the palate. Good finish. Would love to try in 5+ years! 93+
Deep opaque purple. Heady aromas of iron, pepper, violets, and blackberry. Youthfully tightly wound, graphite and black fruits, medium plus acid, chewy tannin and a long, persistent finish. So complete but far too young!
