This is my last of 3 of this beauty. It does not take long in the glass to start strutting its stuff. Delish!! the color is a beautiful inky garnet. The nose is spicy and fruity with blackberry and a touch of vanilla. The flavors are in balance and complex. Tart, fresh dark fruits and spice with a tannic backbone and a touch of bitterness. This wine is drinking well but I would say it is still in its adolescence with 5 more years to go. Sorry to call this my last bottle but the journey has been a pleasant one. Salute!

Delicious mature syrah. Popped and poured. Drank with grilled fillet and sauteed garden-fresh Swiss chard. Color is inky garnet. The nose is cherry, berry, slight licorice. The palate is rich cherry, current, blackberry, pepper, a bit tart . Nicely integrated and balanced. Medium finish. Happy to have one remaining. I would say this wine is at its peak.

better than previous bottles opened, oak more intergrated. not a complex wine but has good fruit and some depth. new world style and benefited from some air time.

Subtle aromas and a nice medium bodied, yet classy red. Good acidity makes this a nice pairing with food.

Pleasant but unremarkable syrah with blackberry, pepper, licorice and smoke. Chunky mouthfeel.
