  Complex, precise, focused. This is a great wine. Black fruits and black pepper, with well-integrated oak, and notes of violet, thyme, black olives, and forest floor. Lovely ripe tannins and plenty of acidity. This wine has real elegance - drink or keep.

  Classic Syrah, with black pepper and a certain cool poise, and very easy to drink, but feels a little too polished and doesn't offer any excitement.
