  If you are into fruit backward wines, this is great right now! Drinking this is like biting into a steak.
  
  Tobacco, cedar, black pepper, olive tapenade, blood, cooked onions and beef take center stage. The only fruit there is here is a hint of mulled/reduced raspberries, as the organic earth and oak elements compete with each other (thinking this was aged in large barrels).
  
  Medium bodied, medium tannin, good structure. Drink now, 9 years is long enough.

  Ok, but not very special. Did not get the real taste of syrah from this one.

  Yummy, food friendly syrah, blueberry-blackberry fruit and depth. Opened well, especially on second day.

  Festive nose of white pepper, blueberry pie, and potpourri. Light on its feet, happy, gives a blissful picnic vibe. Strong notes of white and black pepper, classically Syrah.
