  Hard to find any flaws. Lots of balanced and complex flavors of ripe dark berries, cocoa, leather, game and spice. Concentrated and viscous, but, retains just enough acidity to bind all together into a seamless wine with a very long and flavorful finish. Darn near perfect. Did decant it for a few hours. QPR is also impressive. Drink now 1or hang on for a few more years.

  Pours a dark garnet but with some clarity to it. Has a heady nose of red and black fruits touched with some petrol and red licorice. The palate is lively with red and black fruits, with a complimenting characteristics of beef and pepper. Definitely a cool climate syrah profile. Acidity and tannin are in excellent balance. At least 5 years left. I bought this for $24 and should have bought a case...but didn't!

  Similar to previous notes. I need to stay away from these kind of Syrahs.

  Dark reddish black in color. Aggressive aromas of candied black raspberries, roasted coffee, dark florals and incense. This has continued to put on weight in the bottle and shows sweet and ripe black and red raspberries, hint of white pepper, bbq smoke, good acidity, melting tannins and a long perfumed finish. Wonderful.
