Fabulous nose. Deep, complex with dark fruit, smoke, iron, olives and pepper. Just a wow palate, full bodied, rich, dense and juicy with excellent sweet fruit to balance the medium finish with nice tannins and some dryness. This is my fifth bottle of 6 and it has been consistently great since the first bottle in 2007. This is immediately ready to drink and the most mature bottle i have had. This has class.

Wow, clean and fresh with years still to go. Decanted for 3 hrs and still a little tight. Pure Syrah goodness, perfect Northern Rhone.
