This is still young, almost primary, but will it ever really arrive? Smooth, very straight forward, almost commercial in style or is that being too critical? Olives, bacon, silky, almost creamy. Certainly a very well made wine that i would be happy to pair with a rack of lamb any day - as I would with many other Syrah-wines. #podcast

@Ganen: Black and still with a purple rim. Restrained but promissing nose dominated by raspberries. Very strong but well rounded tannins and raspberry and blackberry on the palate. Almost too balanced and friendly, could do with a bit of an edge - but very drinkable even now.
