Nice savory aromas. Palate has some savory dark fruits but again very sweet. After 9 years of aging it's not getting better, but rather more like staying the course. While still a good wine, disappointing because we buy these to age.

Kind of a so-so showing - Evident bramble, meat and violet overshadowed by a rather sweet note. Weakest of the 2007 D&G syrahs tasted in the last year. Hope to see improvement in a few years. Very Good to Excellent, but not up there with the Fenaughty or Recluse.

No secret why the reserve comes from this vineyard. Was a very worthy competitor in our tasting; outshone wines of high regard. Would be quite happy with a little aging but actually wasn't tasting too terribly young.
