  Wow. What a wine. The nose is lovely flowers, herbs, stone. After some time, the iron and blood. Feminine and masculine at same time. One of the best Syrah u can find.

  Open this full throttle mature Syrah a few hours before drinking. Delicious with New Years day pork roast. Rich and concentrated dark fruits. Still has significant background tannin. Last sip of the evening was the best. Expect this will be drinking well for 5-10+ years.

  Still not showing full potential. Needs more cellaring.

  Much better as a nature wine than it was as a young wine
