Shoshana's Birthday Wines!: 25 quid from Les Caves. Cork. 4 hour decant. Riedel Syrah. Deep ruby. Wow. Amazing nose of black fruits, plum, earth with great floral undertones. A massive and complex palate of black fruits, liqueur, coffee with great minerality. Its the best single varietal grenache I have ever tasted, and I can see what you-know-who sees in this wine. Amazing finish. Wow.

Shoshana's Birthday Wines!: 19.16 from Seckfords. Cork. 4 hour decant. Dark red but tranlucent. Red fruit, leather and cedar on the nose. Intense and powerful palate of red fruits, chocolate and a great long finish. Not yet opened my case of 03' but cant wait to see how this baby will develop.

Shoshana's Birthday Wines!: 21.75 from Noel Young. Cork. 4 hour decant. Riedel Syrah. Rich inky colour with a purple rim. Great shiraz nose and silky palate with well integrated tannins and fruit. Even better than last years bottle of the same. I think this will get better and better in the bottle, but its so hard not to enjoy it now.
