Very dark red, spicy, full bodied, medium finish. Second day, even after aeration, the syrah is still a little rough, some may say that it gives the wine character but it is a matter of taste. Reducing rating from 89 to 88.

Dark ruby. Mulled spice and blueberry nose. Medium to full bodied, plums, pepper, jammy blackberries, soft tannins, and a sticky-sweet finish. A little over-extracted for my taste.

Popped and poured through the aerator. Nice nose. Harsh and disjointed at first, but smoothed out with some air time. Definitely decant or give it some time opened before imbibing. I was hoping that this would be as nice as CH Lot 508 Syrah. It isn't! It is ok, but nothing special. It's not a bad wine, but seems a little thin and lacking the round richness of a nice Syrah.

A nose of some dark fruits and spices, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red blend, with black cherry, raspberry, pepper and spice on finish, nothing special. www.winelx.com

Not very complex. Not tannic. Lots of raspberry and strawberry berry fruit flavors with almost a straw-like aftertaste.
