  Dark blood red color. Nose is very hot along with leather and Madeira. Leather, meat, tar, olive and red fruit. Big wine. Noticed tobacco notes too, almost Bordeaux-like, even though Syrah! Excellent.

  I love this wine! I'm a big fan of D&G for lots of reasons and this is just one of many. Really good, strong nose, strong finish. At 7 years it could go for several more. Kinda wished I'd waited cause I think in the future it will be even better.

  First of three. Mostly primary syrah with some secondary flavors trying to peek out. I want my other two to sit a few more years. Excellent.

  Nose is lacking. Smooth dark fruit. Leather, a hint of cedar but not overly smokey. Black cherries, blackberries, and strong tannins, yet balanced. Not sure it's worth $40, but fun to try.
