I think the berry fruit flavors have been affected by age to reveal tones of metallic graphite and ripe raisiny fruits.
Dark blackish garnet colored, full-bodied, this Syrah offers a complex concentrated ultra ripe black and blue berry fruits that come across as raisin or dried cherries giving way to tones of graphite, licorice and creosote with hints of black pepper, cardamom and clove spice - the off-fruit flavors perhaps attributable to age.
This was best accompanied by dark chocolate and dried cherries.
