My last bottle of this vintage. As before, deep dark fruit on the nose. This persists in the mouth with spice and pepper. Soft luscious tannins with moderate to long finish. It may have lost a bit of freshness, given its age, but not post mature. Another good Syrah from the okanagan.

Over two days. Nose of cherries, blackberries, bramble, chocolate, ‘baked blackberry crumble. It was muted in the mouth apart from black fruit. Moderate finish with smooth tannins. The tertiary flavours of leather and earth were more pronounced the second day.

Clear, perfect burgundy colour with pink rim, with very sporadic, fast-moving tears Clean, med intensity, with aromas of raspberries, Cassis, some floral, leather, olive rind and stewed cherries. Dry, med body, med alcohol, med- tannins, light acidity, further tastes of red cherries, raisins, marinated anchovies, sea salts, and paprika. Perfect pairing for steak with a good finish.

The vanilla flavour from the oak definitely took away from the overall experience of the wine. Good, but not great.
