This wine is a beast, tasting more like a barrel sample than a 4 year old syrah. Wow - depth, acidity, tannin. I hope I can remember to let my remaining bottles sleep.

Smelled and tasted like a barrel sample at 15 years of age. Tar, dark fruits, still a massive wine. The last bottle of Alban in my cellar and I'm not sad to see it go - damn, has my palate changed over the years.
