Intense wine. Drinks very much like a St. Joseph. Blackberry and earthy flavours. Nearly black in colour. Slightly too heavy on the oak tannins. Overall an excellent wine. Expect nothing less from Michel-Schlumberger.

This wine had a lot of promise, but I think we opened it too soon. Aeration helped, but in retrospect, I think it could have used another year or more in the bottle.

spicy red fruit with bold flavors and some dusty overtones. Fairly well integrated and balanced.

Big barbecue sauce, big fruit, big tannins. Needs several years in the bottle and then? Magic Eight Ball says "Not clear."

Lovely syrah with sophisticated balance and tasting notes. Great wine for the price point.
