This Syrah is on par with some of the world's finest such as Grange and Henske. Powerful and heavy mouthfeel, but still gentle and refined. A melody of dark fruit, red fruit, mocha, chocolate, bacon, toast, earth, and mineral. Each sip reveals new facets...I could drink this all night long. For such a full bodied wine, it is seamless from front to back. This is in a very good place right now. I don't know if it gets better with age, but it has a long life ahead. Color me impressed.
Had it with lamb ribs and braised peaches.

mooie diep rode kleur, geur is kersen en bessen fruit, diep rood en rijp, mooie minerale toon, licht wat koffie en leer, smaak is stevig en geconcentreerd, licht vloeiend met rijpe indruk, fraai en met kracht

WHAT THE F. I was given a glass of this at Vetri restaurant in Philly last night by a friend at another table and this wine was so reduced it was undrinkable. What is bumming me out is that I have two bottles of this wine in the celler. Its time to pull one.

While obviously a wine with a more modern upbringing, the surprised me. It had lovely balance and complexity and finished nicely.
