Color is amazing - dark and inky - no light gets through. Bouquet is dark, dried cherry, with young raisins - with a bit of earthiness - in a good way. On the palate - nice complexity, with ripe currents and purple fruits, but not overly fruity. Tanins are there in a good way, but not out front or overpowering. Still some potential to age, but it really is nice right now. Nice long finish with a really complexity. Overall a very nice wine - it's not full bodied at this stage, but is still full of flavor. A very good syrah.

P&P. Massive wine, dark and viscous. Huge blackberry and vanilla flavors, with an awesomely long mocha finish. This wine just kept going...very delicious!

Very nice. Matthews is a WA classic. Less dimensional than the Red Wine of the same vintage but still powerful fruit on the nose, well balanced on palate and delicious fruit, medium finish,good tannins and still has long life

Everything I like in a Syrah - nice mouthfeel - complex and lush. No need to wait longer for this one - its perfect now.

Drinking very well now, but could still go a few more years. Ripe plum and cherry, with some earthiness.
