Opened, but not decanted for 45 minutes before pouring. Part of a Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon night with my wine group. This tasted so much younger than I was expecting for a 2006. Greatly enjoyed by all 8 of us at dinner. Notes of vanilla and blueberry on both the nose and palate. Soft tannins. Medium plus length on the finish. I think the color has faded a little bit from its younger days. Definitely a new world Syrah.

Drank over two nights with dinner. Interesting mix of quite fruity almost jammy and yet quite a fair of sediment. Would have like a bit more of a tannic backbone.

Massive nose of vanilla and blueberry. Medium tannin, medium acidity. Good length

Very enjoyable. Full-bodied, rich, not terribly peppery. Meat, good tannins, long finish. Highly recommended.
