Another bottle of this drinking very well right now. Very clean and pure (some of these Qupe auction bottles have been a little funky). Medium ripe style with prominent sanguine and iron notes rather than berry. Good on the first but even better on the second night.

14.8% abv. Recent auction purchase. Ready to go from the pop 'n pour. This is really a nice, pure, balanced red with lots of lovely Syrah character. A touch of heat detracts a little, but this was very enjoyable. Went very well with chicken ravioli with red pesto sauce. Much better than the 2004 Bien Nacido I drank the other night.

Another sound bottle of this. Ripe and fairly round -- seemed more simple than the previous bottles, but still very enjoyable.

The more bottles of this I drink, the more I appreciate what a great wine this is. May be the best $12 I've ever spent on a bottle.

Another nice bottle from the auction purchase. Just a very well-made, lovely Syrah made in a style that shows off the fruit and terroir.
