From Magnum. 1 hour decant. Plenty of overripe dark fruits that hid the 16+% alcohol pretty well. Smooth. Touch of black currant and hard leather to make it interesting with faint vanilla Oak.

Similar notes as bottle opened two years ago. "Rich berry fruit in the nose and flavor with blackberries, black raspberries, black cherries, licorice, and coffee in the nose. Blackberries, cherries, and spice in the flavor. Medium to long finish." This tasting displayed a bit of floral in the nose and a very smooth finish.

Great match with mustard coated & grilled leg of lamb on Easter. Decanted without aeration. Bright red fruit with a tart back bone & mouth filling structure. Much later in the evening hints of tobacco & caramelized bacon fat arrived.

Not a very inspiring wine. No typicity of Syrah. Good fruit, but fairly singular. Well made, but nothing special.
