Quite an interesting and compelling wine. Drunk over two night. The first night without much decanting it was a chewy, big tannic wine. Powerful concentration, well integrated with flavors of black fruit, tobacco, chocolate, and spices. A little alcoholic particularly on the finish. Not showing much age at all- clearly has a way to go. The second night the tannins had melted a bit and the nose came alive, with the body having better body and a bit of finesse. Really delicious and better than I expected.

black cherry, allspice, went well with rhubarb chutney with charcoal grilled pork roast. Also great after dinner alone. Red raspberry on the finishg

Was a concerned as the cork fell apart on opening. Decanted and mesh filtered the wine. Was all there. Sorry this was my last bottle of 07.

Slightly less impressive than the last bottle we consumed, but still a great Syrah, and a beautiful mate to rack of lamb.
