Stupendous as always. Skyscraper concentration and scale, assertive but also silky smooth, nice delineation. Utterly wonderful to drink. Glad I've a few more.

Similar to previous notes - deep, very delineated, stunning fruit and a broad panoply of lovely flavor. I love a wine like this that is both outright delicious but also sophisticated.

Beautiful concentration, pencil lead, slightly briary and cedary tone. This is huge, precise and so assertive; the Syrah characteristics are in full display. A little more direct and linear compared to the more plush and expansive '08 but the quality is the same. One of my favorite Syrahs.
Held up great on the 2nd day - just as precise and defined as ever and gorgeous to drink.

Breathtaking as always. Amazing concentration, detailed and plush at the same time. What a wine.

Rich, thick and elegant. More precise than the ‘08.
