Medium red color, watery edged. Mature nose, meaty, smoky, floral and well-fruited. On arrival, smooth tannin and a hint of acidity. Completely a syrah CdR in the mouth. Bottle #6 of six.

Medium red-violet. Immediate, fresh nose of raspberry, macadam and smoke. On arrival, low-medium tannin and medium acidity. Moderately structured with bags and bags of fruit here; ready to drink. Bottle #5 of six.

Medium-light red-garnet color. Medium intensity nose, of olives, plum pie, bandage tape, garrigue; is that smoke ? On arrival, low-medium tannin and medium acidity. More structure-oriented in the mouth, with less fruit and less bottle development than typical even for this lean vintage; drink up while freshness still here. Worked well with a meal of mushroom and anchovies pizza; not much memorable here. Bottle #4 of six.

This is actually starting to get a little dry. Always has been an enjoyable wine, but drink up, now.
