  What a syrah masterpiece! More Cote-Rotie is now showing in the nose. Palate more new world with its richness and full body. So happy with this

  Decanted for 2+ hours before drinking over the next 2 hours. Very nice effort. Definitely needs air - 2 hours wasn't enough as the wine after 4+ hours was singing.

  Oi oi oi, what have we here? If I were to define US syrah to someone, I might go with this one. At least in the style prevalent back in the Parker days. This is full throttle yet sublimely balanced. Pronounced nose with dark berries, smoke, chocolate, coffee roast, whiff of malo yoghurt and notes of syrah with pepper, cloves spice and pine needles in a campfire (love that note). Rich, full body and soft, well ripened tannins. Yes please! Exactly what I was hoping for!

  - Brick color with medium forming legs and aromas of blackberry and cedar. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry and black currant with a full body. Smooth texture with a medium finish - Decanted two hours, some leather on the nose.

  First night, varietally correct but foursquare and not very interesting (89-90). Second night has more nuance and character (91-92).
